Designed to aid positioning and to off-load pressure from the heels. Particularly suited to leg elevation to aid vascular conditions and a useful aid in posture support.
A significant proportion of pressure ulcers occur on the heels due to a combination of pressure, friction and shear.
Whilst support surfaces assist in reducing pressure, only a specific device such as the Repose Foot Protector can ensure that pressure on the foot is relieved totally. Clinical studies have shown the heel Protectors to be effective in a wide variety of settings.
The Permapad cushion range is made from castellated foam that provides pressure redistribution for users whilst seated. The fabric covers are PU coated, multi stretch and vapour permeable. There are three sizes available to suit user requirements.
