The Heel-Float Plus also features a rigid insert that prevents foot-drop.
Pressure Relief and Protection: The Skil-Care Heel-Float Plus Boot is designed to prevent pressure sores by eliminating pressure on key areas such as the heel, bunion, and malleoli. It features strategically placed cutouts that prevent pressure on the lateral and medial malleoli, as well as a foot band that secures below bunions for added protection.
Enhanced Healing and Comfort: A water-based gel insert provides targeted pressure relief beneath the ankle, while the extended foot support keeps blankets and sheets off the toes. The boot's design promotes maximum air circulation, aiding in the healing of existing sores.
Prevents Foot-Drop: The boot features a rigid insert that helps prevent foot-drop, a condition where the front part of the foot cannot be lifted, ensuring proper foot alignment and further enhancing patient comfort and safety.
