Heel offloading boot that redistributes pressure along the calf. The durable exterior reduces friction and shear from sheets. Machine washable. Simple strapping system. Treated with 'Ultra-Fresh' antimicrobial treatment to help inhibit odour-causing bacteria.
The Heellift family (Glide, AFO and Classic) of suspension boots use a fixed pad of latex-free foam to completely elevate the heel, redistributing pressure along the calf. Friction-free Tricot backing and soft felt closure straps for a secure fit eliminate the risk of pressure, friction and shear to the heel. The foam support of the forefoot allows dorsiflexion while preventing heel-cord contracture (foot drop) and external hip rotation (with the spare pad or a wedge).
Redistributes pressure from the heel to the calf to prevent heel pressure ulceration. Gentle cradling and cushioning of the lower leg with the heel elevated in protective space reduces the chances of irritation or pressure points. The soft, smooth exterior fabric allows the leg to glide from side to side, preventing it from catching on sheets and blankets.

A bilayer membrane system for skin replacement. The dermal replacement layer is made of a porous matrix of fibres of cross-linked bovine tendon collagen and glycosaminoglycan (chondroitin-6-sulphate) that are manufactured to have a controlled porosity and defined degradation rate. The collagen-glycosaminoglycan biodegradable matrix provides a scaffold for cellular invasion and capillary growth.
The epidermal substitute layer is made of a thin polysiloxane (silicone) layer to control moisture loss from the wound. The silicone outer layer is removed when the dermal skin has regenerated and is replaced with a thin epidermal skin graft.
Available in thin and regular thicknesses, this is an advanced matrix for dermal regeneration. The dermal replacement layer, which consists of a porous three-dimensional matrix comprised of bovine tendon collagen and chondroitin-6-sulphate, is designed to have a controlled porosity and defined degradation rate. It promotes wound healing in a single application.

The semipermeable silicone membrane controls water vapour loss, provides a flexible adherent covering for the wound surface, and adds increased tear strength to the device. Can be used in conjunction with NPWT.

Engineered extracellular matrix (ECM) derived from an ovine (sheep) source for soft-tissue repair and complex wounds. Specifically designed to help maximise tissue repair while providing versatility and adaptability across a wide range of surgical applications.
The system consists of two main elements: an oxygen generator and an oxygen delivery system. The oxygen generator is a battery-operated device that delivers continuous pure humidified oxygen to the wound bed through water electrolysis. It is supplied with two rechargeable batteries and a charging kit, thus allowing the user complete freedom of movement. Each battery will last for a minimum of 24 hours. The oxygen delivery system is a sterile, single-use wound interface that allows free passage of wound exudate into the secondary dressing. It has a 1-metre thin flexible tube that connects directly to the oxygen generator. The delivery system should be changed at each dressing change.
