The heel float is designed to offer relief from pressure sores and prevent fragile skin from tearing. It achieves this by effectively eliminating pressure and friction on the skin, which can cause discomfort and lead to the development of sores.
In addition to providing relief, the heel float offers a temporary solution to those suffering from pressure sores. By reducing pressure on the affected area, the heel float can help promote healing and prevent the sores from worsening.
To reduce the risk of pressure ulcers and protect the skin of patients is to suspend their heels over an air cavity. This creates a barrier between skin and any surfaces that may cause pressure or friction, reducing the risk of damage to the skin.
The use of a soft fabric can be effective in reducing skin friction and wicking away moisture. Additionally, the inclusion of cushioned sides and a gel insert placed below the ankle can provide optimal protection for the malleolus.
