For conditions such as edema and chronic venous insufficiency, clinicians often recommend elevating the lower legs to a height that is above the heart when lying in a supine position. Until now, elevating the legs to this height was a challenging task often addressed with improvised approaches, using materials such as pillows, sofa cushions or blankets. These materials lack the necessary therapeutic qualities for adequate pressure redistribution and an acceptable level of comfort. Improvised approaches often result in poor compliance to leg elevation protocols due to their inconvenience, instability or discomfort. The HeelZup CVI Leg Elevating Cushion is designed to safely and reliably elevate the lower legs above the level of the heart while offering several key benefits to the patient:
Elevates the lower legs above the level of the heart, (ten inches at the heel suspension end)..
Eliminates pressure on the Popliteal Fossa.
Eliminates pressure on the heels.
Envelops the thigh and calf in a soft bed of Visco Elastic Foam for optimal comfort and pressure redistribution.
Available in one and two leg width versions and various sizes.
No-Slip fabric on the bottom of the cushion prevents migration away from the patient.
The HeelZup CVI Cushion is covered with a 4-way stretch cover that is moisture proof and comfortable against the skin. A no-slip fabric is used on the bottom panel to prevent the cushion from migrating away from the patient.
Beneath the 4-way stretch cover lies a soft, comfortable bed of Visco-Elastic Foam, which enhances comfort and pressure redistribution.
The PopliZone contour design eliminates pressure on the Popliteal Fossa, greatly improving comfort and therapeutic efficacy. The heels are suspended and free of pressure.
