We’ve heard from clinicians around the world that pressure over the heel is difficult to effectively off-load
The Z-Flex Heel boot includes a fluidised positioner. This supports the lower leg with a comfortable and anatomically neutral foot position. That foot position is supported by an adjustable ankle positioning strap. So you can customise the position and easily reposition, according to each patient and situation.
Our Z-Flex Heel boot is easy to use – with a built-in gate for quick access, so you can easily assess the patient’s skin at each scheduled interval. Plus the design includes thermal regulating material to help keep your patient’s legs comfortable for longer.
After the sacrum, the heel is the next-most common site for pressure injury incidence. The heel is also the most common site of pressure injuries for the perioperative patient
