Frequently asked questions
Are these pads effective at preventing bed sores?
Yes, they are specifically engineered to provide effective pressure relief by distributing pressure away from the heel area, which helps significantly in reducing the risk of developing pressure ulcers.
Do these pads stay in place during movement?
Yes, each pad is equipped with an integrated hook and loop strap. This allows for an adjustable, secure fit that keeps the protector firmly in place while the patient is using it.
Are these comfortable for long-term wear?
These pads are designed for comfort using convoluted (egg-crate style) foam. This texture provides a superior cushioning effect while simultaneously promoting airflow to help maintain skin integrity and prevent moisture buildup.
Can these pads be washed and reused?
No, these are intended for single-patient use only. You should not attempt to wash them, as laundering will cause a loss of their necessary fire-retardant characteristics.
Will these pads fit most patients?
The pads are designed as a one-size-fits-most solution. The included adjustable hook and loop strap allows them to be adapted to fit a wide range of patients for various clinical or rehabilitative needs.
Are there any special safety warnings I should know?
Yes, please note the following safety precautions:
- Fire Safety: The foam is flammable. Do not expose it to open flames or ignition sources, such as burning cigarettes.
- Usage: These are for single-patient use only.
What are these pads made of?
The protectors are constructed from high-quality polyurethane foam that is specifically shaped with a convoluted surface for better air circulation and pressure management.
Are these suitable for home rehabilitation?
Absolutely. While they are a professional medical tool, their design makes them highly suitable for a variety of environments, including long-term care facilities and home rehabilitation settings.
How are the pads packaged?
Each case contains 20 individual heel protection pads. They are shipped directly from the manufacturer to ensure you receive factory-new product.
