Short Description
The Heelift and Elbowlift are foam joint protection products made from latex free medical grade foam.

The Elbowlift creates a no pressure zone for the sensitive elbow, and prevents sores created by excessive friction. One size only.
More Details
HEELIFT
Available in either convoluted or smooth foam. The base of the bootie has a Tricot backing which minimises friction between the boot and bed linen. This allows the wearer to move easily, and ensures the bootie stays in place. It also minimises shear. The Heelift creates a no pressure zone and allows for lower limb positioning for extra support under the calf or to provide more support to prevent foot drop.
HEELIFT TRACTION
The Heelift Traction boot provides an inventive method of applying skin traction to help stabilize femur fractions prior to surgery. With up to 4kgs of straight skin traction for fracture pain relief, the bootie helps prevent heel and malleolar ulcers and avert peroneal nerve pressure at the fibular head. It also provides support to avoid heel cord contracture. Once traction is no longer required the traction components can be removed, converting it to a Heelift Smooth suspension boot.
ELBOWLIFT
The Elbowlift protects the sensitive olecranon and olecranon bursa from friction burns and contusions. The elbow is elevated to create a no pressure zone, and protects against ulnar neuritis, pressure pain and ulcers, and skin injury.
The Heelift and Elbowlift products are machine washable in laundry bag and can be machine dried.
