Mode of Use/Application
1. Open all strap closures and secure the hook tabs to the loop on either side of the boot. The DeRoyal sew-in label should be on the outside of the boot.
2. Gently place the patient’s foot into the boot, making sure the heel is placed over the heel opening.
3. Take one strap and cross it over the top of the foot. Secure the hook tab to the loop on the opposite side of the boot. Adjust the foot flap to ensure that the foot area is covered.
4. Take the other strap and cross it over the top of the boot. Secure the hook tab to the loop on the opposite side of the boot. Adjust the foot flap to ensure that the foot area is covered.
5. For the PRUventor™ Long, take the lower leg strap and apply the hook tab(s) to the loop on the side of the boot.
6. Make sure two fingers fit between the device and the patient to ensure circulation is not compromised. Pull both foot flaps upwards and side flaps toward the patient to ensure the product fits securely and that the heel is suspended over the heel opening.
7. If the PRUventor™ Heel Off-loading Device is used with sequential compression devices, make sure the tubing exits through the top of the boot or through the access ports located on either side of the boot.
8. Make sure the heel is suspended. Check the bottom of the boot to ensure that nothing is touching the heel.
9. To apply the anti-rotation wedge, place the hook side of the anti-rotation wedge on the outside making sure that the bottom of the wedge sits flat on the surface of the bed.
