How Can a Leg Trough Reduce Heel Pressure?
The Harley 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.
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.
