Heel offloading boots (multiple sizes and interiors)
Reusable heel offloading devices with elevation pads, ventilation holes, choice of smooth or convoluted interiors, friction‑reducing backing, and options for petite, standard and bariatric sizes; intended to offload the heel and redistribute pressure.
Pressure monitoring and alerting system
Integrated system composed of pressure-sensing dressings, a tablet-based alert/monitoring application, and a cloud platform for remote observation and clinical history storage to notify caregivers when excessive pressure is detected.
Patient repositioning and turning systems
Mechanical repositioning systems and positioning wedges designed to assist staff with patient turns and to improve repositioning efficiency and microclimate compared to manual methods.
Compression stockinettes for edema management
Open-toe compression stockinette products designed to reduce edema using graded compression textiles.
Positioning cushions, protectors and gel pads
A range of positioning aids including knee separators, leg elevator cushions, gel positioners, bed rail protectors and other body protectors intended to reduce localized pressure and shear.
Traction-style boots with skin traction capability
Boots that provide skin traction (up to specified small loads) for pre-surgical stabilization and that can convert to offloading boots for postoperative pressure prevention.
