Heelift(R) Debuts Two New Offloading Boots with Easy-to-Clean Inner Lining

    EVANSTON, IL, January 21, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Based on the input of clinicians across North America and Europe, DM Systems, Inc., has launched two new offloading boots that provide a water-resistant, breathable inner lining that easily can be wiped clean while still providing extra grip.

"Our new Heelift Glide Ultra and Heelift AFO Ultra offloading boots were developed in direct response to interviews with clinicians seeking an effective offloading device that would be easy to clean," said founder Dr. Denis B. Drennan.

"Both products provide superior offloading capabilities and patient comfort with smooth, soft exterior fabric that enables patients to move their legs easily across bed sheets. This is a primary concern for clinicians seeking offloading boots that patients will use willingly for the duration of their treatment," he added.

Heelift Glide Ultra is designed to provide superior pressure sore prevention, while the Heelift AFO Ultra was developed to provide maximum support for foot drop patients.

Heelift Glide Ultra

Like DM Systems' original Heelift Glide offloading boot, the Heelift Glide Ultra allows the patient's leg to "glide" from side to side, thereby preventing it from catching on sheets and blankets. That means:
- The foot remains in the proper position in the offloading boot
- Nursing staff time needed to reposition the patient is reduced
- Heel pressure sore prevention is maximized

The Heelift Glide Ultra offers easy-to-use, soft straps that can be adjusted to accommodate the patient's specific needs and a forefoot strap that keeps the heel offloading boot in place and helps support the forefoot.

Heelift Glide Ultra is indicated for patients who are at high risk for heel pressure sores or who have experienced pressure sores in the past.

Heelift AFO Ultra

The Heelift AFO Ultra offloading boot safely holds the ankle in place to promote healing for injury-related foot drop conditions as well as other medical issues. It completely offloads the heel with a lightweight, breathable boot that provides the correct fit for foot drop prevention and treatment while being comfortable to wear.

The new Ultra Grip breathable fabric lining, used on both the Glide Ultra and AFO Ultra, effectively holds the leg in place. Durable, water-resistant and easy to wipe clean, the AFO Ultra offloading boot provides exceptional foot drop prevention performance and cost benefits.

Founded in 1979, DM Systems is committed to quality patient care with innovative products developed by orthopedic surgeons to meet patient needs while saving time and money.
