Harley Designer Foam Leg Trough for Heel Pressure Relief

Heels are some of the most vulnerable areas to pressure ulceration, due to their lack of protective tissue. The Harley Designer Foam Leg Trough for Heel Pressure Relief elevates the heel to reduce pressure, helping patients at risk to stay safe and comfortable. Made of soft viscoelastic foam for added softness, this large 61cm long design fits most for a diverse range of use across various environments.

How Can a Leg Trough Reduce Heel Pressure?

The Harley Designer Trough works by elevating the heels, minimising direct pressure on the vulnerable heel area, which is crucial in preventing pressure ulcers. This elevation redistributes weight, reducing the risk of ischemia and tissue damage caused by prolonged pressure on the heel, particularly in patients with limited mobility or compromised circulation. The ergonomic design of the leg trough promotes optimal offloading and support, addressing a key factor in pressure ulcer prevention.

Viscoelastic Inner Lining

Viscoelastic materials, like memory foam, possess a unique combination of viscosity and elasticity, allowing them to conform to the specific shape and contours of an individual's leg and heel. This conforming capability helps distribute pressure evenly, reducing localised pressure points and promoting better weight distribution. As a result, the Foam Leg Trough can effectively alleviate heel pressure and provide enhanced comfort for individuals at risk of or experiencing heel-related issues.

How Do I Fit the Leg Trough?

The Leg Trough can be easily fitted by putting the patient's leg into the hole and sliding upwards or downwards until the heel is held in the air. Coming in a 61cm length, this design fits the majority of people, making it a fantastic option for use at home as well as in professional medical and care facilities.
