Treat-Eezi Pressure Relief Heel Rest
Some individuals taking extended periods of bed rest can be at risk of developing pressure sores in the bonier prominences of their body, such as their heels. To reduce the risk of such complications and improve patient comfort, the Treat-Eezi Pressure Relief Heel Rest has three layers of padding which shape to the heels of the foot to alleviate areas of pressure, while an additional top layer glides over the inner padding to simultaneously combat friction injuries.
Who Can Benefit from the Treat-Eezi Pressure Relief Heel Pad?
This heel rest can reduce the risk of heel sores or other friction and pressure-related complications in patients who must lie down for long periods of time. By combining a triple layer of padding and a top layer of slippery material, the pad can relieve downward pressure as well as shear force on the heels, enabling better blood flow to the peripheral arteries.
What Conditions Can the Treat-Eezie Heel Rest Help With?
The Treat-Eezi Heel Cushion functions similarly to the Treat Eezie Seat Rest, both of which utilise a triple layer of polyester fibre padding and a smooth upper layer to spread a patient's weight more evenly over the bed surface, and to prevent friction on the area. Clinically proven to help heal grade 2, 3 and 4 open wounds, it can be used by those who are already suffering from pressure sores and decubitus ulcers, or who may be at risk of developing them.
Where Can the Treat-Eezi Pressure Relief Heel Rest Be Used?
With a highly comfortable, protective and portable design, the Treat-Eezi Pressure Relief Heel Rest can be used to prevent friction and protect patient wellbeing in a range of environments. It can be placed under patient heels in bed or on the footrest of wheelchairs, and has also been used by professionals to support new born babies in incubators.
