Dear

You may notice that we're sending out our Clinician's Bulletin a little early this month. That's because we're heading down to Nashville for the 46th Annual WOCN Conference. Booth #700, to be exact, where we'll be showing you how the Heelift Glide not only offloads, but it does so with a superior microclimate AND saves you both time and money. All that in one conference? Stop by and say hello.

Our feature article this month approaches things from a different view. We know that selecting products is a part of your daily responsibilities, but it's not one you've necessarily had formal training in. So finding an approach to product selection is as important as any protocol. We usually talk about heel offloading boots in these articles, but we felt like this was a valuable study in the way it set up a framework for you to use.

When considering products, there are a lot of factors to consider. The basic clinical function (does the boot offload the heel?) is obviously the most important. Though nobody likes to admit it, cost is another. But there are more than just those factors, like patient comfort, caregiver ease of use, and microclimate. We think the Heelift® Glide and Heelift® AFO, are the next leap forward in heel offloading solutions, because they take all those factors into account. Comfortable, convenient to use and clinically effective, Heelift brand boots meet the needs of all your patients. Unlike cushions and wedges that offer no protection against foot drop, or expensive pillow boots that move around on the patient's foot, Heelift was designed to be a complete solution.

Isn't it time you gave them a look? Use the Sample Request Form below to start your free trial. Or drop us a line here to let us know how the Heelift can help in your facility's fight against heel pressure ulcers.

Sincerely,

Wound Dressing Product Selection: A Holistic, Interprofessional Patient-Centered Approach
Diane L. Krasner PhD RN CWCN CWS MAPWCA FAAN, R. Gary Sibbald BSc, MD, FRCPC (Med, Derm), MACP, FAAD, MEd, MAPWCA, Kevin Y. Woo BSc MSc PhD RN GNC(C) ACNP FAPWCA

Selecting appropriate wound dressing products and supportive care to maximize healing and patient outcomes is a complex process. Dressing and local wound care options based on science and best practices must be filtered by clinical experience and must be consistent with patient preferences, caregiver requirements and setting/access issues. Additionally, effective dressing selection and local wound care planning involve the perspectives of the entire interprofessional team.
