2.2 ON DELIVERY OF YOUR NEW HEEL PAD
WARNING
Open the outer packaging and remove the Heel Pads. Please dispose of all packaging
in line with your relevant environmental policy.
2.3 USING YOUR HEEL PAD
WARNING
. The Heel Pad can be used as a standalone pressure reducing pad or in conjunction
with the Dyna-Tek Heel Boot. Place the Heel Pad underneath the area of the foot or heel that requires
pressure redistribution. Monitor skin condition in line with your local guidelines. If deterioration in con-
dition of skin is observed follow local guidelines and review treatment plan.
WARNING Do
not use the Heel Pad for any other purpose than to reduce pressure on the
patients’ heels or feet.
WARNING
Ensure the Heel Pad is placed the correct way up (convoluted side upwards). Do not
use the Heel Pad with any additional covering which may reduce the pressure reducing properties of
the product.
2.4 PATIENT REPOSITIONING
WARNING
Your Dyna-Tek Heel Pad will provide not only the best pressure redistribution proper-
ties but also give greater patient comfort and product longevity. However to prevent the build-up of
pressure which may lead to tissue damage and potential ulcer formation, it is important that the pa-
tient either repositions themselves, or is repositioned on a regular basis. This should be based on the
clinical judgement of a qualified healthcare professional that will provide you with a suitable turning
regime.

Your Dyna-Tek Heel Pad is designed for single patient use only. It is not suitable for
