As the year winds down and we get closer to the holidays, we wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Whether you've been receiving our e-mails from the beginning, or have only recently signed up, we appreciate that you trust us with a few precious moments of your otherwise busy day.

As you start to plan for 2014, keep in mind something we've been saying for a while: A multidisciplinary approach to pressure ulcer prevention is vital to the success of your protocol. A new white paper we've prepared helps to bring the issue into focus, hopefully giving you some ideas on how to organize your prevention program for the coming year.

Of course, we also believe that a crucial part of preventing heel pressure ulcers is the use of a high quality offloading device. That's why we took years' of feedback from clinicians like you to create the new Heelift^® Glide. The Heelift Glide stays in place better thanks to a soft fabric exterior and forefoot strap, leading to fewer readjustments and reapplications. And like all Heelift boots, it creates a superior microclimate for the prevention of skin breakdown.

The Heelift Glide has only been around a few months, but the response has exceeded our expectations. Clinicians who see the Heelift Glide and use it say the boot stays in place better, while maintaining the comfort and effective offloading they've come to expect from Heelift. Want to see for yourself? There's a sample request form below. Have you tried the new Heelift Glide yet? If so, drop us a line and let us know what you think.

Again, thank you for your continued support throughout 2013. Here's hoping you have a peaceful and joyful holiday season, and all the best for 2014.

Sincerely,
