1 HEEL PROTECTION FOR THE PREVENTION AND CARE OF PRESSURE ULCERS Every heel needs protection.
2 WHY HEEL PROTECTION MATTERS. The heels are the most common site for facility-acquired pressure ulcers in long-term care facilities and the second most common site for pressure ulcers overall. 4 They are commonly associated with severe pain, risk of infection and lengthy hospital stays. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will not reimburse hospitals for stage III or IV pressure ulcers that are not present on admission. THE NUMBERS DON T LIE. Pressure ulcers affect millions of people each year and can cause severe pain, infection and lengthy hospital stays. The heels are the second most common site for pressure ulcers overall but they are preventable. 4 $ 9-11 BILLION 2.5 MILLION 60,000 $ 43,180 Cost to treat pressure ulcers annually in the U.S. 2 Number of people in the U.S. affected by pressure ulcers each year 2 Number of patients who die as a direct result of pressure ulcers each year 2 Average cost of a hospital stay for pressure ulcer stages III & IV % The percentage of all pressure ulcers that develop on the heel 3 Medline is your single source for heel protection devices. According to clinical experts, the most effective pressure ulcer prevention for the heels is pressure relief known as offloading. 4 Offloading is achieved with heel protection devices that relieve pressure by elevating the heel. Medline offers a broad array of heel protection devices to fit your needs and budget. These devices are a vital component of a pressure ulcer prevention program at your facility. 2 MEDLINE
3 BUILT-IN ANTIMICROBIAL PROTECTION Medline s Heelmedix, Heel Raiser Ultra, and Heel Raiser Pro are the only heel devices to carry the Ultra-Fresh name, which means you can be assured our devices are treated with antimicrobial agents to inhibit the growth of unwanted microbes within the heel device* that will provide the following key benefits:» Help inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi responsible for creating unpleasant smells and staining.» Control unwanted microbes on the fabric to help keep devices fresh, hygienic, and odor free. How Ultra-Fresh keeps heel devices fresh and protected 8 Stay cleaner and more durable with Ultra-Fresh* 2 bacteria, mould & mildew builds up * surfaces are more durable & more hygienic 1 moisture occurs 3 discolouration & decay Ultra-Fresh Treated Surface Unprotected Surface In an untreated device (see the image above at right), perspiration can encourage the growth of bacteria. This growth can lead to unpleasant odors and product discoloration. Devices treated with Ultra-Fresh remain fresh by actively inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi. By protecting heel protectors from unwanted microbes, Ultra-Fresh antimicrobial helps to keep the devices clean, fresh, and odor free. *Ultra-Fresh is an EPA-registered antimicrobial. This product does not protect users or others from disease-causing bacteria. Always clean according to Instructions for use.

Ultra-Fresh does not protect users or others against disease causing bacteria. 6 MEDLINE
7 Testing shows Heelmedix offers exceptional heel offloading. Study 2: Heel OffLoading Using a pressure-sensing mat, 19 patients in a long-term care facility were tested for heel pressure on a mattress, in a Heelmedix device, and in the competitor s device. Heelmedix completely offloaded the vulnerable heel area. Here are the pressure mapping conclusions: Red dotted line indicates heel contact area Mattress had the highest heel pressure. contact area Competitor s average pressure on contact area. contact area Heelmedix completely offloaded the vulnerable heel area. g/cm Study 3: Plantar Flexion Prolonged plantar flexion (a toe-down motion of the foot at the ankle) can contribute to foot drop. Foot drop is a condition of uncontrolled plantar flexion that can develop in non-ambulatory patients. Results and Conclusions*» Heelmedix demonstrated a 24.5% greater resistance to plantar flexion and twice the supportive strength of the competitor.» The strapping design on Heelmedix was able to prevent a foot drop beyond 40 degrees under all force conditions, while heel offloading on the competitor s boot was not able to stop this severe foot drop angle. Study 4: Strap Durability Straps on a heel protector are important for ensuring that the boot stays properly fitted for each individual patient. If straps have the capability of stretching out there is a potential that the boot will not remain secure on the patient. Results and Conclusions*» Heelmedix straps were relatively unchanged following repetitive strap pulls compared with the competitor s straps, which increased 89.53% in length.» When tested under tension to failure, Heelmedix straps were three times stronger than the competitor s. MAXIMUM PRESSURE EXERTED PER ANGLE The strapping design on Heelmedix was able to prevent a foot drop beyond 40 degrees under all force conditions.

Results and Conclusions 9» The Heel Raiser Pro was shown to have the greater average starting height, the better (smallest value) average height loss per day; and the longest estimated duration of effective offloading compared to the competitor s inflatable boot.» The rate of height loss for the Heel Raiser Pro was much less than that of the competitor, which allows for the Heel Raiser Pro to be used for a much longer period of time before offloading would be lost.» Air can be added to the competitor s product, if needed. However, the Heel Raiser Pro can provide offloading without re-inflating the device. The rate of height loss for the Heel Raiser Pro was much less than that of the competitor 25 Average Height Measurements Heel Raiser Pro manufactured by Medline 10 Competitor TIME (Days) MEDLINE ( ) medline.com 13

The study measured and compared the microclimate inside the Heel Raiser and a competitor s inflatable heel protector by applying heat and water vapor at a constant rate to the surfaces of the two pressure relieving boots. Results and Conclusions*» The Heel Raiser performed better in managing humidity compared to the competitor s heel protector. On average, the competitor retained 23% more humidity than the Heel Raiser. The design and materials of the Heel Raiser allowed the boot to remain significantly less humid.» The Heel Raiser took significantly longer to achieve its maximum humidity, allowing it to stay more comfortable for the patient for a longer amount of time ON AVERAGE THE HEEL RAISER RETAINED 23% LESS HUMIDITY THAN THE COMPETITOR S INFLATABLE BOOT.
