Designed to meet strict clinical protocols for skin integrity, this specialized offloading boot completely suspends the heel over an air cavity, eliminating zero-surface interface pressure. It addresses a critical operational hurdle for wound care nurses by offering a standardized, highly secure therapeutic alternative to manual pillow-propping, which frequently shifts out of place and leaves fragile heels vulnerable to friction, shearing, and tissue breakdown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis medical-grade elevation boot features an innovative, integrated viscoelastic gel pad positioned beneath the patient's calf section. This high-performance fluid matrix works dynamically to redistribute lower extremity weight away from the vulnerable calcaneus (heel) bone, safely shifting pressure across the calf belly while offering deep cooling comfort to help reduce localized swelling. The boot’s open-heel structural framework facilitates rapid, unobstructed clinical assessment and airflow, while its rigid, extended upright architecture effectively prevents foot drop (plantar flexion contractures) by maintaining the ankle in a neutral 90-degree anatomical alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eZero-Pressure Heel Offloading:\u003c\/b\u003e Suspends the heel completely over a protective air cavity to eliminate surface contact and accelerate the healing of decubitus ulcers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eViscoelastic Calf Gel Pad:\u003c\/b\u003e Features an integrated fluid gel insert along the calf region to optimize weight redistribution and maximize lower extremity comfort.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFoot Drop Prevention:\u003c\/b\u003e Formed with a rigid structural frame that holds the foot securely at a neutral 90-degree angle to deter lower joint contractures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOpen-Heel Assessment Window:\u003c\/b\u003e Engineered with a fully open heel section to allow nursing staff to perform rapid visual skin audits without removing the boot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAntimicrobial Fabric Enclosure:\u003c\/b\u003e Treated with a medical-grade anti-microbial coating that minimizes cross-contamination and resists fluid saturation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSingle-Caregiver Adjustability:\u003c\/b\u003e Outfitted with wide, plush hook-and-loop closure straps that streamline application and simplify daily fitting protocols.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAnti-Rotation Side Bolsters:\u003c\/b\u003e Incorporates structural stabilization panels to prevent external or internal hip rotation, keeping the leg in perfect physiological alignment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eProduct Classification:\u003c\/b\u003e Orthopedic Offloading Orthosis \/ Heel Gel Elevation Boot\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSizing Configuration:\u003c\/b\u003e Universal Size fits a broad demographic of adult patient leg profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePrimary Padding Matrix:\u003c\/b\u003e High-density polyurethane foam integrated with a viscoelastic cooling fluid gel pod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInner Lining Textile:\u003c\/b\u003e Low-friction, anti-shear smooth medical weave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eClosure Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Multi-point adjustable soft-padded hook-and-loop strap system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInfection Control Compliance:\u003c\/b\u003e Fluid-resistant outer skin with permanent anti-microbial and anti-bacterial barriers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMaintenance Parameters:\u003c\/b\u003e Wipe-clean compatible with standard hospital-grade sanitizing agents or low-temperature machine laundering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eManufacturer Warranty:\u003c\/b\u003e Backed by Proactive Medical's standard warranty covering materials and manufacturing defects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExtended Product Information:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/files.rescue-supply.com\/PDF\/Manuals\/Proactive-Heel-Gel-Elevation-Boot-Instructions_Manual.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUser's Manual\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Proactive","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":31602275352627,"sku":"PRO-60120S","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":31602275385395,"sku":"PRO-60120M","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":31602275418163,"sku":"PRO-60120L","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2304\/8155\/products\/Protekt_Heel_Gel_Elevation_Boot.jpg?v=1754949798","url":"https:\/\/rescue-supply.com\/products\/proactive-medical-protekt-heel-gel-elevation-boot-with-viscoelastic-gel-pad-and-antimicrobial-cover","provider":"Rescue Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
