Intensive Therapeutics offers HeelzUp leg suspension cushions, the best in the business. A pressure injury on the heel is one of the biggest problems for wound care workers. Heels are a naturally risky spot for pressure wounds. Heel boots need to be removed several times a day to inspect the skin. Standard pillows can slide away and are pressed down by the leg. HeelzUp cushions are an easy and practical way to heal and prevent many lower leg and feet issues, not just pressure wounds.
HeelzUp
This cushion redistributes pressure and supports the heel with high-density foam. It elevates the heel at least one inch off the surface. Thanks to raised side boosters, the legs will never slip off. The nylon cover on reusable models resists odors, stains, and moisture. Patients under 5’5″ tall who weigh less than 165 pounds need the petite size. Patients between 5’5″ and 6′ tall who weigh up to 300 pounds need the standard size. Patients over 6′ tall need the tall size.
HeelzUp Supreme
This cushion is thicker than the original one and provides more comfort and pressure redistribution. It is designed for anyone who needs more elevation. The small cushion is for people who are 5’4″ tall and under. The medium cushion is for people who are between 5’5″ and 5’10” tall. The large cushion is for patients who are at least 5’11” tall.
HeelzUp with Poplizone Thigh Support
This cushion is fitted to the original model to support the lower thighs. It supports the whole leg and removes pressure from behind the knees and heels. The small cushion is for people who are 5’4″ tall and under. The medium cushion is for people who are between 5’5″ and 5’5″ tall. The large cushion is for people who are 5’11” and taller. A standard pillow can add comfort.
HeelzUp Cloud Solo
Two layers of foam help elevate the heels and comfort the legs. It lifts the heels at a 30-degree angle while the patients lie flat or on the side. The small cushion is for people who are 5’4″ and under. The medium cushion is for people who are between 5’5″ to 5’10” tall. The large cushion is for people who are 5’10” and taller.

Each cushion has a non-slip bottom which helps it stay in place. They are also available as single-use or reusable models. The reusable cushions are washable with a diluted disinfectant or wipes. HeelzUp cushions are easily stored away by compressing and rolling them up. A 6-month warranty comes with the disposable, covered models. A 3-year warranty comes with the reusable models. Bariatric sized cushions are available for patients who weigh over 300 pounds.
