Postural Aides
P903T Heel Support Boot
Heel support made of viscoelastic foam with memory effect
Indications
The heel support boot is particularly well suited to cases in which the lower members are immobilised (hip surgery in elderly patients, intensive care…), as part of the sore prevention strategy or to assist in the treatment of existing pressure ulcers. Its shape acts to prevent equinus distortion and rotation.
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.
Prevents equinus distortion and rotation
The pressure relief zone
• Ensures that the heel is totally free of pressure.
Hollow area beneath the Achilles tendon
• Achilles tendon: a zone with a high risk of sores.
Purpose-designed curved outline
• Distributes pressure evenly around the leg support.
The height of the system
• Avoids the need for a frame.
The length
• Is great enough to support the knee and avoid the recurvatum attitude (hyper-extension).
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.
• Have a non-slip lower face to help to stay in place.
• In multi-patient use, it is preferable to buy one new cover per patient.
Non-slip lower face
