Frequently asked questions
How does the Heel Protector effectively offload pressure?
These Tidi Posey devices are specifically designed for specialized heel offloading, which is crucial for preventing and managing pressure injuries.
Their primary mechanism is to ensure the complete suspension of the heel off the supporting surface, thus eliminating direct pressure contact.
Key design features that enable this consistent and secure offloading include:
- Supportive Cushioning: The protector utilizes an internal foam-based structure to comfortably cradle the foot and lower leg.
- Secure Fastening: Adjustable, multi-layered strapping wraps around the ankle and lower leg. This mechanism secures the device, maintaining consistent elevation and suspension of the heel throughout use.
By ensuring the heel is constantly suspended, the device provides critical pressure relief, making it essential for inpatient or outpatient care settings.
