ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
The Heel & Footdrop Bed Support is designed so that the user has no pressure on their heels, with good blood circulation under the calves, and their feet have a surface to rest against. It is made from foam with a cover, and the foam has convolutions to help blood circulation. Anti-Rotation Foot straps (sold separately) are available to help position the feet.
Blankets can be draped over the foam upright and tucked next to the patient’s feet to keep them warm. This is preferable to placing a blanket over a metal bed cradle, where the patient’s feet are left in a void where the air may be cold, and there is a potential risk of skin damage due to the hard metal.
WHO SHOULD USE THIS PRODUCT?
This product may be suitable for people who are at risk of:
- Developing or suffering from pressure sores on their heels
- Developing or suffering from footdrop
HOW TO USE THIS PRODUCT
Place on the bed and attach the white hook tape to the grey velour uprights. This will hold the Footdrop Bed Support in position. Position the person so that their heels are fully offloaded.
PRODUCT MATERIALS
Foam, polycotton, velour, hook & loop tape, plastic.
