2. Indication
It is easier to prevent pressure ulcers than to treat them.
Bedsores can be avoided by changing frequently lying or
seating positions to avoid stress on the skin and to minimize
the risk of pressure on vulnerable bony areas. Other
strategies include skin care, regular skin inspections and
good nutrition.
Using a gel or foam support can help relieve pressure and
make sure that the body is correctly positioned in the chair.
3. Description and Fitting instructions
The heel protector is a contoured moulded visco-elastic
foam support. The foam increases the contact surface
and maximizes pressure relief. The heel protector‘s shape
ensures a good posture of the leg and completely offloads
heels.
This heel protector is delivered with a polyurethane cover.
Hook and loop closure.
Viscoelastic foam is a «slow recovery» foam. During
compression, the foam progressively conforms to the shape
of the body, and after the weight is removed, the foam slowly
reassumes its initial shape.
It also reacts to body temperature and ambient temperature,
softening with heat and more easily adjusting to body
contours.
Foam has following characteristics:
●
Micro perforated cells bounce slower, better
viscoelasticity.
●
Air circulates through the foam.
●
Viscoelasticity remains constant over a wide
temperature range. Pleasant touch due to very fine cell
structure.
●
Low emission and low odor foams.
Ask your technical staff how to install the cushion.
