A soft, smooth exterior fabric allows the patient’s leg to “glide” from side to side, thereby preventing it from catching on sheets and blankets. That means: The foot stays in the proper position Less nursing time is needed to reposition the patient Heel pressure ulcer prevention is maximised Indications Prevention and treatment of heel pressure ulcers Patients suffering from large / small vessel disease Diabetic foot syndrome and decubitus Braden pressure-sore risk scale of 17 points or less Sedentary diabetic patients with neurological sensory deficit Foot pulse not palpable Prolonged immobility or coma Features Durable, Yet Soft, Smooth Exterior: Allows the patient’s leg to glide easily across the sheets. Forefoot Strap: Keeps the boot in place and helps support the forefoot. Friction-Free Tricot Backing: Unlike products with sharp edges, Heelift® Glide, like all Heelift products, is manufactured with a smooth tricot backing that aids in patient mobility and safety. Tricot Covered Stiffener: Prevents Heelift® Glide from buckling. Ventilation Holes: Provide additional air circulation to promote increased patient comfort and a cooler boot. The Glide is 40% lighter than pillow-style boots. “Easy-on, Easy-off” Rounded Straps: Easy to use, the soft straps can be adjusted to accommodate the patient’s specific needs. Choice of Two Interiors: Heelift® Glide is available with a choice of two foam interiors. Smooth foam is available for patients with edematous legs while convoluted foam creates a cooler boot. Extended forefoot: A longer forefoot area helps protect toes. Deluxe exterior stitching: Reinforces the structure of the boot while making the boot less bulky. Washable/Autoclavable: Like other Heelift® products, Heelift® Glide can be washed safely in a net or mesh laundry bag and can be autoclaved for sterility.
