Breaking News Heelift Smooth Addresses Specialty Needs Heelift Smooth Suspension Boot, the latest product from DM Systems, Evanston, IL, for the prevention and treatment of heel pressure ulcers, is specially designed for edematous legs or patients with very sensitive skin, utilizing a smooth foam that will not irritate skin or cause additional pressure points on the edematous leg. Heelift Smooth works in exactly the same manner as the Original Heelift Suspension Boot by lifting the heel and suspending it in air.
Pressure is transferred along the lower leg, which is supported by a patented elevation pad.
The movable elevation pad ensures that the heel is properly positioned within the space formed by Heelift Smooth. Adjustable padded straps made of hook and loop closure wrap around the outside to keep Heelift Smooth in place. Ventilation holes allow for air circulation and patient comfort.
