The National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel recommends using a heel protector that will “Offload the heel completely in such a way as to distribute the weight of the leg along the calf without placing pressure on the Achilles tendon and the popliteal vein.”4

The EHOB Foot WAFFLE® Heel Protector’s Open Foot Gate allows clinicians to easily and effectively assess the foot without continuously having to remove or readjust the heel protector, saving staff valuable time.

HELPS IMPROVE PATIENT COMFORT

Static air produces optimal immersion and envelopment, contouring and cradling the patient’s foot and leg to protect bony prominences from pressure and shear.

ENSURE PROPER HEEL OFFLOADING

The Air-Filled ‘Pillow’ Pad comfortably floats the patient’s foot, creating a dual chamber to keep the heel properly offloaded.
