It should be placed on the bed so the patient’s heels are over the gap at the base of the upright footdrop rest. Note the convoluted section of foam extends under the legs to beyond the knees. This is to help prevent hyper-extension of the knee. The two side struts should be held in position by the Hook \u0026amp; Loop Tape straps.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe bed clothes rest on top of the Support, above the toes. This will stop extra pressure on the feet. This helps prevent footdrop and rotation of the feet.\u003cbr\u003e\nIf the feet are rotating, we recommend the\u003cbr\u003e\nAnti-Rotation Foot Strap\u003cbr\u003e\n(sold separately) that can be fitted onto the Heel \u0026amp; Footdrop Bed Support. These soft elasticised straps are easy to use and can be fitted to individual needs.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen putting the Support on the bed it can normally be resting against the bed’s foot board, or if used with a very short person, a pillow can be placed between the Heel \u0026amp; Footdrop Bed Support and the foot board. Another method of securing the Heel \u0026amp; Footdrop Bed Support is to tuck the top sheet underneath it or tie a ribbon from the two side loops to the bed frame.\u003cbr\u003e\nAs the lower legs and feet are slightly raised, you may find this product helpful in preventing Oedema. Even when patients are lying on their side, the soft convoluted foam helps prevent heel pressure. This product can be used on top of a\u003cbr\u003e\nPressure Relief Overlay Mattress\u003cbr\u003e\n(sold separately). If the patient is likely to soil the product, we suggest a waterproof cover is placed over the convoluted leg section to prevent the foam from getting wet. This product can also be used to ‘shorten the bed’ for patients who may slide down the bed.\u003cbr\u003e\nAlso available in Pelican’s Heel Support range:\u003cbr\u003e\nConvoluted Foam Heel \u0026amp; Elbow Pads\u003cbr\u003e\nConvoluted Foam Heel \u0026amp; Elbow Pads – Covered\u003cbr\u003e\nConvoluted Foam Heel \u0026amp; Elbow Pads – Covered – Large\u003cbr\u003e\nHeel Holder\u003cbr\u003e\nHeel \u0026amp; Elbow Pads – Polyester Padded\u003cbr\u003e\nWool Heel \u0026amp; Elbow Pads\u003cbr\u003e\nBed Heel Elevator\u003cbr\u003e\nBed Heel Raiser\u003cbr\u003e\nSoft Heel Cushion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eItem # 128\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pelican","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":50242039513400,"sku":"128","price":198.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/8801\/8488\/files\/1-heel-footdrop-bed-support.jpg?v=1747624262","url":"https:\/\/suppliers.bettercaremarket.com.au\/products\/heel-footdrop-bed-support","provider":"bettercaremarket","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
