Mode of Use/Application

Before applying:
Make sure patient’s heel and lower limb are clean. Ensure any present wounds are dressed or covered. The knee may be supported with pillows or by adjusting patient’s bed as needed.
Leg placement:
Place the patient’s leg in HeelPOD™ between Achilles tendon and gastrocnemius muscle. Ensure the malleoli aren't in contact with the HeelPOD™ There must be 1-2 inches between the malleoli and HeelPOD™.
Securing the leg:
Once the leg is positioned, apply the adjustable strap to securely hold the limb in place. The strap should be tight enough to keep the limb from rotating. A HeelPOD™ Positioning Wedge (optional) is included—use as needed. Place to either side of the HeelPOD™ to prevent limb rotation. The location in which the positioning wedge is placed will depend on the position of the patient.
