Off-load the Heel to Prevent or Treat Pressure Ulcers Through to Stage IV
The WAFFLE® Heel Cushion is an alternative to a pressure care boot. Instead of a boot being used the cushion is fitted directly to the bed mattress.
The Heel Cushion has been ergonomically designed to allow the leg to remain in a comfortable position with the knee slightly flexed instead of extended, giving support to the heel. Designed with ventilation holes to help keep you cool and dry. The ventilation holes allow for airflow and moisture to vent.
After inflating, with the pump that is included, place the Heel Cushion valve side down towards the foot end of the bed. You can then secure it around and under the mattress using the strap and buckle. It can also be covered with either a flat or fitted sheet.
Heel care is provided by off-loading the heel to prevent or treat pressure ulcers through to Stage IV and deep tissue injury. They are ideal for use in bed, the operating room and intensive care.
