HealPRO™

Orthomerica introduces the HealPRO — a cost-effective foot and ankle positioning orthosis designed to unweight the heel and protect the foot from potential ulcers and/or loss of dorsiflexion range of motion. This unique design reduces pressure on the toes from bed linen to facilitate comfort and protect the skin.

Designed primarily for patients spending long periods of time in a recumbent position, the HealPRO can improve clearance in swing phase and promote a neutral position during stance for limited ambulation. The external bootie cover can be used to cover the sole and toes when the patient is out of bed and removed for infection control before the patient returns to bed.

Features include:

• Soft and comfortable CoolFoam™ liner with finished edges.
• Washable liner is simple to remove and re-apply for cleaning.
• CoolFoam wrap around proximal trim line reduces calf pressure.
• Dual foot and calf Velcro® closures.
• Easy opening Velcro® tabs facilitate independent donning and doffing.
• Heel offset reduces heel pressure in supine position.
• Internal or external rotation control with 90 degree stop.
• Rubber treaded sole to enhance safety.
• Toe lift facilitates clearance in swing phase during ambulation.
• Extended footplate protects toes from bed linens and prevents contractures.
• 4 adult sizes from Small to X-Large
• Universal sizing - fits right or left
• Extension straps included for edema or bariatric patients
• Abductor Bar kit option (sold separately)

Indications:

• Prevention of heel ulcers.
• Unloading of pre-existing ulcer on posterior aspect of the calcaneus.
• Surgical positioning of the lower limb.
• Prevention of lower limb internal or external rotation while patient is supine.
• Protection of fragile and compromised skin of the foot and ankle.
• Foot drop without contractures.
• Patients at risk to lose ankle range of motion secondary to recumbent positioning.
