Heelift® Application and Care Instructions
Application Instructions
Follow the four steps below to properly fit the Heelift boots.
NOTE: For single-patient use only.
Step 1:
| Open up the Heelift boot. Set the extra pad aside. KEEP IT AVAILABLE; you may need it later to further customize the boot. |
|
Step 2:
| Place the foot inside the boot with the heel positioned above the heel suspension opening. The heel should hang over the bottom elevation pad. |
|
Step 3:
| Pull the closure straps over the skin towards the D-rings. Thread the straps through the D-rings. Use the hook-and-loop closures to secure the straps. Leave flaps slightly open to provide added ventilation. |
|
Step 4:
| Test for the proper fit. You should be able to fit your fingers between the heel opening and the bed. The boot should not move freely on the leg. |
