Heelift Suspension Boot has long set the bar for heel pressure ulcer prevention and treatment. Heelift effectively eliminates pressure from the heel by offloading all pressure from the heel and redistributing the pressure to the calf, preventing the development of heel pressure ulcers. A gentle cradling and cushioning of the lower leg with the heel elevated in protective space reduces the chances for irritation or pressure points. View the Heelift® video Heelift Suspension Boot offers the following features: Extended stitching: Located along the top rim, the added stitching narrows the forefoot and increases support to provide improved protection against foot drop, equines deformity, or heel cord contracture. “Easy-on, Easy-off” Rounded Straps: Easy to use, the soft straps can be adjusted to accommodate the patient’s specific needs. Friction-free tricot backing: Unlike other suspension products, which can have sharp edges on the back that can rub against the patient's other leg, Heelift is manufactured with a smooth tricot backing that aids in patient mobility and helps ensure patient safety.
Two types of foam: Heelift is available in Smooth foam or in Convoluted foam. Smooth foam is ideal for patients with edematous legs as it will not create "impressions" on the leg. Convoluted foam is slightly cooler to wear. Ventilation holes: Ventilation holes provide additional air circulation to promote increased patient comfort. Heelift is 40% lighter than pillow-style boots. Tricot covered stiffener: This feature prevents Heelift from buckling for added patient comfort and safety. Forefoot support: Spring back technology helps to keep the foot upright. Washable/Autoclavable: Like other Heelift products, Heelift can be washed safely in a net or mesh laundry bag and can be autoclaved for sterility. For more information visit our instructions page. Heelift Suspension Boot can play an integral role in heel pressure ulcer prevention regimens for susceptible, high-risk patients as well as for patients already suffering from heel pressure ulcers. Risk factors for the development of heel pressure ulcers include:
Use of Heelift Suspension Boot, together with scheduled turning of the patient, careful monitoring, and other prevention procedures, has been clinically proven to help reduce heel pressure prevalence over time1. McInerney, Joan A, MSN, RN, BC, CWOCN. Does your love one use a wheelchair to help with mobility? Then you should be aware of pressure sores and the danger they present.Pressure sores, also known as bedsores, pressure ulcers or decubitus ulcers, are a problem that arises if there is inadequate flow of blood to the skin. The most typical cause of pressure sores is lack of movement, such as when veins are squeezed between a bone and surface of a mattress or wheelchair. Since the skin layers are being squeezed, it can’t get adequate nourishment and sores develop. In addition, pressure sores can are also caused by the friction between a person’s skin and a bed sheet or from extended skin contact with wetness ( sweat, urine, or stool ).1. The skin area gets heated and red in the area covering the bone.
This soreness does not go away after 15 minutes of pressure reduction, and there is no opening in the skin layer.2. An open wound emerges as a blister, that is red-colored and painful.3. The skin layer breaks and the wound seeps out through the top skin layer. The region encircling the wound or blister is red, but the sore is not hurting anymore.4. The wound opens down to the muscle tissue or bone and keeps seeping. If the wound is closed, a black scab might cover it. The region around the wound will remain red.Pressure sores can be difficult and expensive to treat so it is best to prevent them from happening in the first place. Stopping pressure sores can be as easy as helping the patient to change positions often. Eating a good diet, keeping skin clean and moisture free also help in preventing pressure sores.

The patient is anesthetized and intubated, and the endotracheal tube is secured, while patient is lying in the supine position, on either a stretcher or bed. This is accomplished by moving the OR table to one side, so the patient (on stretcher or bed) can be pulled into position for induction, near the anesthesia machine and needed equipment. and humidifier should be placed at this time. After intubation and induction are accomplished, the anesthesia provider gives permission for other OR team members to assist in moving the OR table back, next to the stretcher or bed, aligning both in front of the anesthesia machine.
The anesthetist frees and secures all lines ( IV, Art-line, Central-lines, etc.) in preparation for turning of the patient. (Please note: There should be a draw sheet on the OR table before moving patient onto it, for later positioning of With multiple assistants, the anesthesia circuit is briefly disconnected by the CRNA as he or she simultaneously commands the head, with one hand securing the airway (or ETT), and attends to the position of all lines. At the command or 1-2-3count of the CRNA, the patient is carefully flipped prone onto the OR table. While other OR team members assist in the prone positioning of the patient, the CRNA continues to maintain the airway, reconnects the circuit, ensures proper functioning of the ventilator (or ability to hand ventilate patient in the case of a LMA), and checks and secures Parallel thoracic or chest rolls (made from tightly rolled sheets and blankets or manufactured gel rolls) are placed under the thorax, lateral to the breasts,
