After the sacrum, the heel is the second most common site for pressure ulcers
The Z-Flex Heel boot includes positive air displacement and a fluidised positioner to fully offload the heel and redistribute pressure over the Achilles. An integrated air chamber also helps support the lower leg and prevent overextension of the knee. The foot position is adjustable via ankle positioning straps so you can customise the position and easily reposition, according to each patient and situation.
The Z-Flex Heel boot is easy to use, with a built-in gate for quick access to inspect the heel without the need to remove the device.
