Unique Heel Access And Visualization

HeelP.O.D. open design enables visual assurance of effective offloading, allowing continuous use during wound debridement and dressing changes.

Reduced Workload

Research shows that HeelP.O.D. takes 87.5% less time to apply and 57.5% less time to remove, allowing staff to optimize time spent.1

Confident Offloading
“Floating the Foot”

With the HeelP.O.D. design, the foot truly “floats”, allowing zero pressure on the heel. The single strap aids in the leg evenly contacting the device, providing support without stress points.

Pressure Ulcer Problem

More than 2.5 million patients per year are impacted by pressure ulcers in the United States. The National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel defines a pressure ulcer as localized tissue damage to the skin and underlying soft tissue, typically over a bony prominence due to pressure, shear, friction, or a combination of these factors.3 It is paramount for Acute Care and Long Term facilities to have effective offloading solutions that work for all risk levels to help treat and prevent pressure injuries.
