Description
A soft silicone foam heel dressing shaped to the heel, used by care teams as part of a plan to help prevent pressure injuries.
Heels are one of the most common spots for pressure injuries, especially for people who spend long hours in bed. This dressing contours to the heel and uses 5 layers to manage microclimate and guard against exudate, friction and shear, and its silicone face peels back and re-sticks so you can check the skin underneath.
Why caregivers like it
- You can lift it to check skin or a wound, then press it back down.
- Gentle silicone helps reduce discomfort when worn or removed.
- A superabsorbent layer holds exudate to lower the risk of maceration.
- The breathable film is waterproof and keeps out dirt and germs.
