One of the leading challenges for the wound care community is heel pressure injuries. Heels are naturally susceptible to pressure injuries and even the most advanced support surfaces can prove to be ineffective at prevention and treatment. HeelZup is designed to overcome some of the drawbacks of traditional heel offloading methods. Heel “boots” require frequent removal to inspect the skin integrity of the leg, ankle and foot. Challenges can also arise from boot straps or fasteners that are secured too tightly or loosely. Pillows can slide out of place or compress easily, leaving vulnerable heels in contact with the surface of the mattress. The HeelZup Heel Suspension Cushion offers a practical, comfortable and cost-effective way to offload pressure from the heels.
For more leg elevation or to enhance patient comfort, a conventional pillow can be placed on top of the HeelZup Cushion. The raised borders will hold the pillow in place, preventing lateral movement.
