The Heelift Glide Suspension Boot is designed to provide effective pressure relief in the heel area while preventing heel ulcers. Developed with input from doctors and patients, it incorporates key features to enhance comfort, functionality, and ease of use.
Indications include preventing and healing heel pressure ulcers, managing diabetic foot syndrome, and supporting patients with prolonged immobility or neurological sensory deficits. It is especially suited for those at high risk, as indicated by the Braden pressure-sore risk scale of 17 or less.
This boot is an economical prevention strategy for sedentary or high-risk patients. It actively offloads pressure from the heel with a microclimate-friendly material, aiding in the healing of heel pressure ulcers.
Key features include an internal pad that completely suspends the heel, ventilation holes for added comfort, and a forefoot strap for additional support. The smooth nylon cover reduces friction by gliding over sheets, while the tricot backing enhances mobility and safety. Available with two foam interior options: convoluted (standard) or smooth. The Heelift Glide is easy to wear, fits both feet, and is washable or autoclave-friendly for sterility.
