Dear  

Pressure ulcers, and the work you and your colleagues do to report on them, are a complicated problem.  The reporting requirements for pressure ulcers have been under the proverbial microscope for some time, and that's not likely to change any time soon. The article abstracted here gives a good overview of the new requirements, and helps explain this complex issue.  

 

There is, however, one part of your pressure ulcer prevention and treatment program that doesn't need to be complicated at all. The Heelift® Suspension Boot is so easy to use, so ready to customize for your patient, and so effective, you won't need to worry about carrying any other heel offloading device. The Heelift is available in three sizes to fit all your patients, and in two foam interiors to meet those patients' needs.

Take a moment to fill out the Sample Request Form, and find out for yourself how your patients can benefit. Concerned about cost? We are, too. Visit the Heelift Savings Calculator
  to see how using the Heelift actually saves you money.  

We'll be exhibiting at a host of national and regional conferences in the coming months. We're looking for your experience with the Heelift, your success stories, and your feedback. Join us.

Sincerely,

  

Denis B. Drennan, MD
President, DM Systems Inc.
