Dear  

We hear a lot of things from our customers,  our champions, and our fans. They tell us we need to create this product or that product, or we need to change this product or that product, or we need to leave our product alone because it's perfect the way it is.

But one thing we've heard loud and clear over the years is that compression hose needed to change. So that's what we did.

HeelSafe DVT Hose are graduated compression hose that are more comfortable, easier to don and remove, and safer than conventional hose.

Why safer? The unique window design keeps pressure off the heel, where ordinary hose can cause irritation and even lead to pressure ulcers.

Why easier to don and remove? The material is soft and stretches better. That's also what makes them more comfortable. And then there's the CoolMax® antimicrobial moisture-wicking technology that helps keep the skin dry and cool.

Available in both thigh-high and knee-high, we've also designed them to fit all of your patients (up to a 36" thigh and 26" calf) in five sizes, from S to XXL. 

Are you unhappy with your hose? Are you evaluating new ones? Contact us at this address to let us know if you're interested in having your facility do a formal trial or study of our new HeelSafe DVT Hose. Help us spread the word about this new product by proving how well it works. We'd love to hear from you.
  

Sincerely,

Anti-embolism stockings: are they used effectively and correctly?
Karen Anne Cock  
books

Anti-embolism stockings are widely advocated in the prevention of deep vein thrombosis. But do they do more harm than good? This
article explores the effectiveness of this intervention and the possible
link with heel pressure ulceration, an increasing problem which costs
millions and causes suffering to patients.

With the aid of an audit tool the author assesses nursing knowledge and reveals that, although there is a high level of understanding regarding post-application care, the appropriate initiation of the intervention and subsequent documentation of this intervention are severely lacking, leaving the health profession wide open to litigation.
