Dynamic Aids Viscoelastic Heel Support is a medical device made of viscoelastic foam with memory effect, designed to prevent pressure ulcers in patients with normal or slightly limited mobility. Its anatomical shape and soft touch provide effective protection against friction, making it ideal for those at medium-high risk of developing sores in the heel area.
The support features an anatomical design that includes specific characteristics such as:
- Side supports: protect the Achilles tendon by diverting pressure to the retro-malleolar regions.
- Concave sides: in the forefoot section that redistribute pressure to areas less prone to ulcers.
- Concave heel area: that keeps the heel suspended and protected from friction.
The cover is made of bi-elastic polyurethane, which provides multiple benefits:
- Reduces friction and shear.
- Is elastic and soft to the touch, increasing comfort.
- Promotes gas exchange, helping to prevent maceration.
- Its waterproof material ensures better hygiene.
- Is washable at 90°C and can be disinfected with cold aerosols.
- Treated to resist fire.
This support offers notable advantages for protection against pressure ulcers:
- It perfectly adapts to the patient's anatomy thanks to its viscoelastic material.
- It is especially suitable for patients with constant movements of the lower limbs, where the risk of friction is higher.
- Its mounting system is easy to adjust and avoids irritations, unlike other products with straps and Velcro fasteners.
- Allows for optimal pressure distribution, avoiding high-pressure points that could cause injuries.
The Dynamic Aids Viscoelastic Heel Support is a comprehensive solution that combines high quality and ergonomic design, offering effectiveness and comfort for the patient. It is recommended to consult a health professional for proper use.
