GeriHeel® Heel Flotation Device & Slip Cover - Heel Ulcer Prevention
Release Pressure on your Heels
Heel ulcers can easily develop in thin-skinned heels when they are in prolonged contact with a bed or mattress. The GeriHeel® Flotation Device is designed to be placed under the legs to alleviate heels from pressure and prevent skin ulcers. The GeriHeel® has a soft, premium alternating pocket foam surface layer that allows air to circulate and helps redistribute pressure without compromising blood flow to the feet and toes. The high density base layer helps prevent “bottoming” out. The product fits across the full width of a standard hospital bed and can be used when the patient is in supine or side-lying positions. It includes a removable and machine washable slip cover; a fully-encased zippered slip cover is also available.
