Repose Foot Protectors are designed specifically to minimise the risk of pressure damage to heels
Product options
Repose Foot Protectors are a unique product designed specifically to minimise the risk of pressure damage to heels by off-loading. A significant proportion of pressure ulcers occur on the heels due to a combination of pressure, friction and shear.
Whilst support surfaces assist in reducing pressure, only a specific device such as the Repose Foot Protector can ensure that pressure on the foot is relieved totally. Clinical studies have shown the heel Protectors to be effective in a wide variety of settings.
- Low Air technology distributes weight evenly and doesn’t lose its shape
- Designed to relieve pressure on soft tissue areas and provide comfort
- Lightweight for easier transport
- Easy to clean and will deflate down to a compact size
- Helps distribute pressure evenly
- Repose can be cleaned and reused
- Can be used with other dynamic or static support surfaces
- Reduces impact of pressure, friction and shear
