Frequently asked questions
Does this provide complete heel suspension?
Yes, the Heel Float II is specifically engineered to suspend the heel over an air cavity. This design completely eliminates pressure on the heel, which is vital for preventing skin breakdown and promoting effective healing.
Is the material gentle on sensitive skin?
Absolutely. It features a specialized Low-Shear II cover, which is specifically designed to reduce friction. By minimizing shear forces against the skin, the protector helps prevent skin-damaging injuries, making it ideal for patients at risk of pressure ulcers.
How do I keep the device clean?
The product is designed for easy maintenance. It features a wipe-clean cover, allowing for quick, efficient, and thorough sanitation. This makes it highly suitable for both clinical settings and home-care environments.
Does it protect the ankle bones as well?
Yes, the Heel Float II includes cushioned side structures. These provide extra stability and ensure that the sensitive malleoli (ankle bones) are protected from contact and pressure.
Is this suitable for repeated use?
Yes, this is a reusable device. It is built for durability and comes with a 6-month manufacturer guarantee, ensuring it remains effective throughout its period of use.
Is it easy to keep secured on the leg?
The device utilizes a reliable hook and loop strap fastening system. This allows for a secure, adjustable fit that keeps the protector properly positioned throughout the day or night.
Does this help with preventing plantar flexion?
Yes, the product is specifically engineered to assist in preventing plantar flexion and providing the necessary support to keep the foot in a safe, neutral position while relieving heel pressure.
