Skil-Care’s Heel Float off-loads the heel by suspending it over an air cavity. This eliminates pressure and prevents the formation of pressure ulcers and aids in the healing of existing sores. The Heel-Float includes a water-based gel pack that relieves pressure that relieves pressure beneath the ankle. The gel may be heated or cooled for hot/cold therapy.
This Heel Float features a new adaptable Velcro strap that permits this device to be secured with one strap at the ankle and one at the instep, or with both straps at the ankle. The ankle/instep option should be used if your patient’s foot moves rearward in the Heel Float or if the foot moves to the left or right inside the device.
