Dear

As we gear up to meet with hundreds of clinicians at the WOCN® Society's 45th Annual Conference in Seattle, we wanted to take the opportunity to invite you to stop by. We'll be at booth #1101, right in the middle of the hallway. You won't be able to miss us.

We realize we keep telling you about conferences we are exhibiting at in these e-mails. But that's because we genuinely believe that you need to see the Heelift Glide up close. You can feel how soft the fabric exterior is, and imagine how it would move along the sheets. See for yourself how the forefoot strap allows the extended forefoot to cradle the foot and protect the toes. So come by the booth and tell us what you think.

If you can't make it to Seattle, then just use the form below to get a free sample of the Heelift Glide.

Our featured article this month doesn't solely focus on heel pressure ulcers as we sometimes do, but looks at prevention of all pressure ulcers from a nurse's point of view. It's worth a few moments of your time to read.

We'd love to hear from you. Have you tried the new Heelift Glide yet? Drop us a line and let us know what you think.



Sincerely,

A Nurse-Led Approach to Preventing Pressure Ulcers
Tracey L. Yap, PhD RN *Susan M. Kennerly, PhD RN 
  

This article discusses a nurse-led multidisciplinary approach that care providers can use to reduce pressure ulcers (PUs) within their organizations. Given the current understanding of PU etiology and prevention, evidence-based prevention protocols and pressure-relief strategies serve as critical foundational principles that must be applied to significantly influence PU prevalence and incidence. Because nursing plays an important role in rehabilitation facility management, nurses' expertise, leadership, and knowledge make nursing the most appropriate discipline to design protocols, implement innovative solutions, and lead the charge for PU prevention.
