Pressure Relief Cushion "HeelUp"
Prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers on heels
Immobile people who do not move or reposition themselves often enough or reposition themselves often enough are at considerable risk of developing pressure ulcers.
The most common pressure ulcers are on the buttocks, sacrum, hips and heels.
According to a US study, 22.9% (nursing home) and 22.5% of all pressure ulcers occur on the heel. This makes the heel the second most common location where a pressure ulcer occurs.
To prevent this use heel pressure relief cushions that fully elevate and relieve heel pressure so that distribute the weight of the leg to the calf without putting pressure on the Achilles tendon.
