Medifeet 24 – Professional Heel Protection and Foot Drop Prevention
Medifeet 24 – Professional Heel Protection and Foot Drop Prevention
Medifeet 24 is an effective and user-friendly solution designed to prevent heel pressure injuries (heel decubitus) and pes equinus (foot drop) in bedridden patients. The system keeps the heels fully off-loaded, supports the legs in a natural position and ensures optimal air circulation around the feet. This prevents skin maceration and significantly reduces the risk of wounds.
Thanks to its modular construction, Medifeet 24 can be used both in supine and lateral positions, 24 hours a day. It provides a natural extension of the feet and legs without elevating the knees. The integrated blanket arch prevents pressure from bedding on the feet, further increasing comfort.
Medifeet 24 is compatible with adjustable (electric) care beds, including semi-Fowler positions. It is easy to place, saves valuable time for nursing staff and contributes to cost reduction, as effective pressure injury prevention leads to fewer wounds and fewer complications.
