P901T Integral heel support
Heel support made of viscoelastic foam with memory effect
Indications
• This model of heel support is particularly well suited to patients with normal or slightly limited mobility.
• Thanks to the reduction in friction effects between the heel and bed that are a source of sores, this model is also ideal for prevention in agitated patients or those subject to constant movement of the lower members.
Description
Made of viscoelastic foam with memory effect
• The heel sinks into the memory foam.
• Combined with the curved form of the system, it reduces pressure peaks in the high-risk areas.
The heel area is hollowed out
• To provide effective protection against friction effects.
The Achilles tendon is protected by side supports
• That direct pressure towards retromalleolar regions considered as being lower risk.
The sides of the forefoot section are hollowed out
• To divert pressure towards the surrounding areas that are less subject to sore formation.
Integral heel support
• Is particularly well suited to patients with normal or slightly limited mobility.
• Is also ideal for prevention in agitated patients or those subject to constant movement of the lower members.
Features of the cover
Fabric coated with bi-stretch polyurethane:
• Reduces friction and shear effects.
• Supple and soft to the touch (comfortable).
• Favours the exchange of gases (steam, sweat):
- fights against maceration.
• Impermeable material:
- better hygiene,
- longer support system lifespan.
• Washable at 90°C, can be decontaminated using cold sprays.
• Treated to resist fire.
• In multi-patient use, it is preferable to buy one new cover per patient.
• Unlike most systems attached to lower limbs using belts and Velcro fasteners, which are uncomfortable and cause irritation, the SYST’AM® P901T is entirely protected by a cover and has a particularly comfortable attachment system that is easy to adjust:
- the attachment system offers sustainable support maintaining the device in the right position,
- the system is easy to install.
