The Repose range offers a unique and simple solution to efficiently redistribute or release pressure (floating heels) and to contribute to the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers.
The Repose heel protector Plus has an opening under the heel for visual inspection and extra ventilation of the foot.
Can be ordered per pair, below the order options:
- Extra Small (29 x 20 x 18 cm)
- Small (33 x 20 x 20.5 cm)
- Standard (38 x 20 x 23 cm)
The heel protector is suitable for treating heel decubitus or for preventive use. The inspection opening under the heel gives the possibility to observe the heel and allows extra ventilation.
The Repose heel protector covers the foot and calf of the patient but is not fully closed in a circular manner to ensure proper ventilation and inspection of the skin and blood flow. The recess under the heel guarantees a floating heel, while the calf is gently supported by 2 thick air cells. This also minimizes the pressure on the Achilles tendon. These heel protectors are an ideal tool for the immobile, sedated or comatose patient or for lack of space at the foot of the bed.
Repose is simple and durable Repose consists of air-filled and interconnected membranes made of polyurethane film. The 50 µm thin polyurethane is extremely elastic: it can be stretched up to six times without tearing or losing its elasticity.
The combination of air and polyurethane film guarantees the best possible pressure redistribution through embedding (immersion) and enclosure (envelope). Repose is the perfect product to increase the contact area between the body and the bottom layer as much as possible. The material is breathable and temperature neutral. This creates an optimal microclimate. The unique Repose pump ensures that every device is inflated with the correct pressure.
The patented 'Smart Valve' technology guarantees an internal pressure of 12 mmHg in the Repose. This is the optimum value for pressure redistribution and clinical effectiveness through slump and enclosure. The pump also serves as a packaging for Repose.
