Frequently asked questions
How does this device prevent heel ulcers?
The Heel Float II is specifically engineered to suspend the heel over an air cavity. By keeping the heel completely off the bed or surface, it eliminates the pressure points that typically cause ulcers or skin irritation.
Is the material gentle on sensitive skin?
Yes, it features a specialized Low-shear II cover. This high-quality material is explicitly designed to minimize friction and shear, which are major factors in damaging vulnerable or sensitive skin.
Does it offer any cooling features?
Yes, each unit includes an integrated water-based gel pack. This is designed to provide soothing cooling relief to the ankle area, which is especially beneficial for patients during extended periods of use.
Is it easy to keep clean?
Maintenance is simple and convenient. The exterior surface is designed to be wiped clean with a damp cloth, making it ideal for both clinical environments and home-care settings where hygiene is essential.
Can I adjust the fit?
Yes, the device is equipped with adjustable straps across the top of the foot and the lower calf area. These use hook-and-loop fasteners, allowing you to customize the fit to ensure both comfort and security for the wearer.
Does it provide support for the ankle bones?
Absolutely. The device features padded sides specifically constructed to offer structural support and protection for the malleoli (ankle bones), preventing them from rubbing against the sides of the device or the bedding.
Is this suitable for someone on long-term bed rest?
Yes, the Heel Float II is specifically designed for patients on prolonged bed rest or those categorized as being at a high risk of developing pressure ulcers. It is widely used in hospital, nursing home, and home-care environments.
Can it be used with a pressure-relief mattress?
Certainly. This device is highly effective when used alongside other support systems, such as pressure-relief mattresses or specialized bed surfaces, to provide a comprehensive approach to pressure management.
Are there any specific safety warnings?
Please be aware that this product contains components subject to California Proposition 65 warnings, which apply to certain materials used in manufacturing.
