HeelSafe Pressure Relief Pad

Pre-inflated or inflatable over-mattress pad to relieve pressure on heels. Secured to the bed with adjustable straps and snap buckles, which can be replaced. Optional manual hand pump and replacement cover. Can be combined with SoleSafe to protect both the heel and plantar surfaces.

Hero H-2

A low-profile, hypoallergenic, odour-reducing (cyclodextrin) and moisturising (aloe) two-layer compression system. Layer 1 consists of a gentle, conformable, cohesive, absorbent foam bandage that contains pure aloe with moisturising properties and cyclodextrin to help bind malodorous molecules and give off a fresh scent. Layer 2 is a hand-tearable, beige/light-tan, inelastic, cohesive bandage designed to produce graduated, therapeutic sustained compression. The two layers lock together providing a sturdy compression bandage that resists slippage.

HidraWear

Wearable wound care. Wearable retention dressing system for self-management of moderate to high exuding wounds in difficult-to-dress areas, without the need for adhesives that can irritate and further damage the skin. Combines reusable garments with superabsorbent HidraWear dressings, which are secured in place by HidraHex hook and loop technology. Seams on the outside of the garment allow the soft, breathable fabric to conform to the skin to further reduce irritation and allow smooth and frictionless movement.
