Skil-Care Tri-Function Heels Off-Loader
The Tri-Function Heel Off-Loader can be used with or without the detachable foot-drop block. The heels off-loader (curved back) is used primarily to off-load the heels. The front, higher curve elevates the knees between 5 and 10 degree which helps relieve the pressure off the spine. When the block is attached, foot drop can be controlled. Depending on the orientation of the block, the foot drop plane can accommodate a 90 or 110 degrees angle.
Product features:
- Suspends heels off the bed
- Places the knee in a 5o to 10o flexion position
- Elevates legs to relax the spine
- Distributes the weight of the leg along the calf
- Two position foot drop block
- Reduces the risk of pressure ulcer development
- Detachable straps that adjust for any leg length
- Low-Shear II cover reduces skin-damaging friction and wipes clean for easy care
Application
Place the curved foot elevator so that the higher curve is placed beneath the knees. Adjust the elevator so that the heels are off-loaded. Note, that the two sizes are accommodative to the stature suggested in the chart. These residents heights are not an exact determination due to variances in torso and leg lengths. If it is determined that the foot drop block is desired, make a determination whether the 90o or 110o plane is desired. Face the appropriate plane towards the resident and adjust the distance between the two components by varying the length of the strap. Loop the strap on the block through the loop on the curved foot elevator and close the Velcro back strap.
Caution
When using this system, assure that the heels are off-loaded and that the component sizes are comfortable to the resident. If not, consider alternative Skil-Care devices. Note, that slight modifications can be made by cutting the foam on the bottom of the foot elevator.
Easy Care
All of the materials covering the foam are water resistant and can be wiped clean with a standard disinfectant.
