Heelift® Glide Suspension Boot

Price £46.00 incl.VAT – £53.00 incl.VAT

Heelift® Glide is indicated for patients who are at high risk for heel pressure ulcers or who have experienced pressure ulcers in the past.

Heelift® Glide can play an integral role in offloading the heel to help prevent heel pressure ulcers. Unlike pillows, which can actually aggravate heel cord contracture, Heelift® Glide assists in keeping the patient’s foot in the correct position for heel pressure ulcer prevention. Compared to pillows and other heel offloading devices, Heelift® Glide can also save a lot of nursing time.

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.
