We talk a lot in this space about the treatment of heel pressure ulcers. But recently, we've noticed the conversation shifting. Of course, we still want to treat heel pressure ulcers, but many facilities are stepping up their efforts to prevent them as well. The change in CMS regulations regarding payment for hospital acquired pressure ulcers were certainly a catalyst for the conversation, but it seems as though more and more facilities are taking up the cause, better late than never.

This month's article gives a good description of developing a full-scale pressure ulcer prevention program. It's an undertaking that is vital to any facility, and not one to be taken lightly.

But there is one thing that you can do that has been helping patients prevent heel pressure ulcers for over 30 years. The Heelift^® Suspension Boot redistributes pressure up the calf, floating the heel completely.
