Did you know heel pressure injuries are the second most common type of pressure injury in healthcare settings?
We have just written a white paper that reviews the latest evidence on heel offloading devices, including suspension boots, foam wedges, and air-based systems. Key takeaways:
✔️Offloading devices significantly reduce heel pressure injury risk vs. standard care
✔️"Floating heels" are the gold standard for prevention
✔️Patient compliance remains a barrier. Lightweight, breathable designs matter
✔️Air-based surfaces may offer advantages over foam
Whether you're in ICU, post-op care, or aged care settings, this comprehensive review will help guide you on heel protection. To download the white paper, visit: https://hubs.la/Q03-kGLs0
