The HeelZup® Family of Heel Elevators
HeelZup® – The Original HeelZup® Elevator. The heels are suspended from the end of the 3.25” thick calf bed, while patented raised side bolsters prevent the legs from falling off the sides of the cushion. HeelZup® in the only heel elevator available that can be used with a traditional pillow on top if the user prefers. Available in covered reusable and bare foam disposable versions.
HeelZup® is a cooler, more comfortable choice when compared to boot style heel offloading modalities.
An independent lab measured the skin temperature of four areas of the heel, ankle and foot while using the HeelZup Cushion, a polyurethane foam boot and a polyester fiber filled boot after just one hour of use during bedrest. The HeelZup® cushion was 2.0° C – 8.8° C cooler in all areas than a polyurethane foam boot and a polyester fiber filled boot.
