Special Edition - WOC Nurse Week 2014      


Dear

Happy WOC Nurse Week!

Over the years, we've come to realize that WOC Nurses are not only our strongest advocates, but also our fiercest critics. And we'd like to take a moment to say thank you for that.

Why? Because it was WOC Nurses that alerted us to a few patients having the boot shift on their foot. That led to the development of the new Heelift®Glide, the latest step forward in heel pressure ulcer innovation. The soft fabric exterior and forefoot strap help secure the boot by allowing the boot to move with the patient.

Also, it was a WOC Nurse who told us they thought the Heelift was too warm. That led us to conduct two separate laboratory studies that show without a doubt that the Heelift® Suspension Boot and the Heelift Glide are actually several degrees cooler than the leading pillow-style boot. But we went beyond heat to show that the Heelift boots actually create a superior microclimate to those of the pillow or air-style boots. 

Stays in place better. Superior microclimate. All thanks in part to WOC Nurses. But don't take our word for it, find out for yourself. See the sample request form below to get a free trial of the new Heelift Glide, the classic Heelift Suspension Boot, or our redesigned Heelift AFO.

As I think we've shown pretty well above, we invite and welcome your feedback. E-mail us at this address to tell us what you think.

Again, thank you for your tireless efforts on behalf of your patients.


Sincerely,

This article, which we present every year during WOC Nurse Week, is really a series of commentaries in the Journal of WOCN that discusses the real and calculable ways that a WOC Nurse makes a difference to a facility.
