Preventing heel pressure ulcers
Heel ulcers are known to be expensive and avoidable. According to one study, "pressure ulcers (PUs) remain a critical health care issue, with patients hospitalized in the acute care setting receiving treatment for approximately 2.5 million PUs each year."¹ Proper off-loading of the heel is the proven method to avoid heel injury.
