HEELIFT® Suspension Boot fully suspends heel using adjustable elevation pad, dispersing pressure over calf. Made of medical-grade foam. Unlike other heel suspension products, which can have sharp edges on the back that rub against the patient's leg, HEELIFT features a smooth tricot backing that aids in patient mobility and helps ensure patient safety. Forefoot support is provided by spring-back technology that helps keep the foot upright. Easy to use, the soft hook-and-loop straps can be adjusted to accommodate each patient’s specific needs. Suspension boot is washable/sanitizable with non-bleach disinfectant wipe or spray: Like other HEELIFT products, the HEELIFT Suspension Boot can be washed safely in a net or mesh laundry bag. Available In three sizes (Petite, Standard, or Bariatric) with Smooth Foam (helps minimize skin irritation for extra-sensitive skin) or Convoluted Foam (offers increased air circulation). Sold individually or in 6 per case.Suggested code: E0191The Heelift Suspension Boot can play an integral role in heel pressure injury prevention regimens for high-risk patients. Heelift Suspension Boot can also help patients already suffering from heel pressure injuries. Use of Heelift Suspension Boot, together with scheduled turning of the patient, careful monitoring, and other prevention procedures, has been clinically proven to help reduce heel pressure prevalence over time (sourced from: McInerney, Joan A, MSN, RN, BC, CWOCN.
