Elevation Pads Are the Keys to a Custom Fit

Customize Heelift To Expand Its Application
In addition to a fixed (beveled) pad upon which the calf rests, each Heelift boot comes with an additional pad which can broaden the use of the Heelift.
Trim to Customize
Should redness of the Achilles tendon
occur, a “U” or “V” shape can be cut
into the distal end of the fixed pad to
relieve any pressure. Heelift can also
be customized for patients that have
ankle pressure ulcers.

A Short Stroll
A patient may walk on any of the
Heelift boots for short distances.
Walking longer distances should
only be done with assistance. |
