When to Use a Pressure Relief Boot
The Pressure Relief Boot helps to eliminate pressure buildup on the feet. When we stand up for several hours a day, pressure accumulates in the feet, particularly in the heel area - causing painful ulceration. This boot is therefore ideal for patients needing help with:
- Heel ulcer prevention and treatment
- Lower level ambulation with heel pressure relief
- Prevention of ankle contractures
How Should a Pressure Relief Boot Fit?
A correctly fitting pressure relief boot should constrict the foot and ankle so that it cannot move. This should not be painful: it just needs to be tight enough to prevent further injury to the area, helping to quicken the healing process.
Key Features and Benefits
- Offloads pressure from heel to ease pain and quicken healing
- Soft, breathable, washable liner for low maintenance pressure care
- Easily removed and reapplied sole plate for the perfect fit
- Adjustable length toe support allows perfect pressure distribution
- Anti-rotation bar for improved stability and protection
What Materials are Used in the Bodymedics Ambulatory Pressure Relief Boot?
The Ambulatory Pressure Relief Boot is comprised of various high-quality materials. The exterior and interior are both made of a blue, soft liner. This is suitable for laundering, allowing for a low-maintenance solution to pressure ulcer care. The black sole unit is also fully removable, for patient needing this device when lying in bed.
Anti-Rotation Bar
The Ambulatory Pressure Relief Boot comes with an anti-rotation bar. This stops the heel from any additional twists and turns, locking it in place so that it is immobile. This prevents patients from inflicting any further injuries, while the boot itself shields the area from external damage.

Removable Sole
The Ambulatory Pressure Relief Boot comes with a removable sole, which can be taken off at night or whenever patients need maximum comfort. This is ideal for bedridden individuals, or for people who need to put their feet up to promote good circulation. Pressure relief boots are known for being uncomfortable and cumbersome, so the Ambulatory Pressure Relief Boot guarantees a lightweight and ultra-comfortable solution.
