Heels are a common site for pressure ulcers, and one way to reduce the risk of skin breakdown is by off-loading the heel. Medline’s HeelMedix® Heel Protector is a combination of pressure relief and skin protection all in one. Some of the clinical benefits of HeelMedix include completely off-loading the heel and helping to redistribute pressure while the open heel design allows for airflow and easy monitoring of the skin. The device comes with the option of multiple strapping methods for enhanced foot drop protection and to help firmly isolate the entire foot, while still floating the heel.
