Heelift® Traction Boot

Heelift Traction Boot (View the video) provides an inventive method of applying skin traction to help stabilize femur fractures prior to surgery and to help prevent heel pressure ulcers after surgery.

Indications

With up to ten pounds straight skin traction for fracture pain relief, latex-free Heelift Traction Boot helps prevent heel and lateral malleolar ulcers and avert peroneal nerve pressure injury at the fibular head, as well as providing forefoot support to avoid heel cord contracture. During the pre-surgical period when the patient lacks the ability to control the leg, Heelift Traction Boot elevates the leg and controls foot drop and rotation.

After surgery, the side traction straps, traction bar, and rope can be removed, converting the Traction Boot into a Heelift Standard Suspension Boot to help prevent pressure ulcers.

Features

• Customizable foam boot with fixed elevation pad.

• Spare pad with adhesive backing to customize

  the boot for any unusual problems or for

  specific needs.

• Velcro® side traction straps.

• Removable traction bar and rope.
