It's hard to believe, but January is almost over already. It seems as though we've just put away the party hats and holiday decorations, and here we are almost at the end of the month. Winter has certainly left its mark already, at least here at our corporate headquarters outside of Chicago. And while most of us would prefer to think warm thoughts right now, we'd like to tell you that you'll be hearing a lot about cool from us.

We've known for a while that the Heelift^®, Heelift AFO^® and Heelift Glide^® offloading boots have a cooler, dryer microclimate than pillow style boots. There was even a poster presented at SAWC Fall in Las Vegas that said the internal material of a Heelift provided the ideal microclimate. So expect to hear, in the coming months, just how Heelift boots are better for your patients when it comes to microclimate.

This month's article takes a look at a particular patient population for whom pressure ulcers are an underrated concern. Critical care nurses have patients who are at unusually high risk for pressure ulcers, but often have multiple other issues that can lead to pressure ulcer risk being pushed to a secondary concern.

That's why a heel offloading boot like the Heelift Glide is so valuable. You can put it on a patient and remain secure in the knowledge that it won't need constant readjustments, helps prevent skin breakdown by offering a superior microclimate, and offloads the heel effectively.

We'd love to hear your thoughts. So many of you have written us from these newsletters to request a sample, please drop us a line at this address to tell us what you think. Haven't seen a sample? Use the link below to request one now.


Sincerely,
