MAXIMUM PROTECTION
- Protects the heels of non-ambulatory patients: The heel protection boot is designed to reduce pressure, friction and slippage on the heels and feet of bedridden patients. Elevates the patient’s heel, which eliminates direct contact with the surface of the mattress or bed, preventing the formation of pressure ulcers. By providing continuous pressure relief, it provides extra protection that is not always achieved with the use of specialized mattresses or sheets alone.
- Reduces the risk of plantar flexion contracture: The contracture strap of the protective boot is intended to prevent the patient’s foot from bending downward (plantar flexion) while at rest. This excessive flexion can lead to contracture of the Achilles tendon, which would hinder the patient’s future mobility. By keeping the foot in a 90° (neutral) position, it prevents shortening of this tendon and helps reduce the risk of developing clubfoot, a condition in which the foot cannot lift properly.
- Protects the nerve: A stabilizing wedge can be added, the wedge is designed to prevent lateral rotation of the foot and leg while the patient is in bed. This uncontrolled rotation can cause damage to the peroneal nerve, which is a common cause of clubfoot. The wedge stabilizes the lower extremities, helping to maintain proper alignment and preventing unwanted foot movement.
