What makes Heelift® Glide so unique? 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.
