Details

Easy to Use

Position the patient: Have the patient lie down on the bed. Ensure they are in a relaxed position and that their affected foot is easily accessible
Prepare the boot: Detach the adjustable straps to make it easier to slide the patient’s foot into the boot over the air cavity. Follow the printed icon on the top strap to ensure that the boot is positioned in the correct direction
Slide the foot into the boot: Hold the heel boot with one hand and gently guide the patient’s foot into the boot with the other hand. The foot is positioned correctly when the heel is suspended over the air cavity with the toes facing upward, and the foot resting against the front of the boot
Secure the boot: Once the foot is properly positioned in the boot, fasten the adjustable straps for optimal fit. Make sure the straps are securely fastened but not too tight, as this could restrict blood flow or cause discomfort to the patient. Position your hand under the heel opening to verify that the heel is elevated and not in contact with the bed surface.

Caution: Do not allow patient to walk or stand on the floor while wearing the boot. It is recommended that a medical professional periodically inspect the foot and heel to assure that the foot is always positioned properly inside the HeelCheck Boot.

Easy Care

Clean heel protector with PDA wipes or soap and water. If necessary, launder at temperatures below 1760 F
Do not bleach
