Putnams Heel Lift Leg Pillow

Putnams Heel & Leg Lift Pressure Relief Pillow: Targeted Ulcer Protection & Joint Support The Putnams Heel & Leg Lift Pillow is an essential therapeutic support cushion designed to suspend the heels and elevate the legs, offloading pressure from vulnerable skin to prevent and treat painful pressure sores. Crafted with a firm, high-density foam core in Devon, UK, this multi-use orthopaedic pillow holds its shape under continuous weight, ensuring reliable offloading and spinal alignment whether you are recovering in bed or sitting up. Key Product Features Heel Offloading Technology: Safely lifts heels clear of the mattress, eliminating shear forces and pressure build-up on sensitive heel tissue. Firm High-Density Foam Core: Engineered to maintain structural elevation without collapsing or sagging during extended bed rest. Made in Devon, UK: Proudly manufactured in Great Britain to rigorous quality and safety standards. Removable & Washable Poly-Cotton Cover: Fitted with a durable, zipped poly-cotton cover that is easy to remove and machine wash for optimal hygiene. Versatile Multi-Use Support: Safely supports heels, ankles, knees, or a growing pregnancy bump with a single ergonomic cushion. Health & Therapeutic Benefits Prolonged bed rest puts continuous weight on small bone prominences like the heels and ankles, rapidly reducing localized blood flow and leading to skin breakdown. Sleeping or resting with targeted elevation helps prevent and soothe several chronic conditions: Pressure Ulcers & Decubitus Ulcers: Completely suspends the heels off the mattress to prevent stage 1–4 pressure ulcers from forming or worsening. Bed Sores & Heel Injuries: Eases friction and pressure on existing heel and foot sores, speeding up natural skin healing. Blisters, Calluses & Foot Ulcers: Prevents painful surface rubbing against bedsheets for sensitive diabetic feet or fragile skin. Lower Limb Circulation & Swelling: Elevates the lower legs slightly to support venous return and relieve fluid retention around the ankles. 3 Versatile Ways to Use Heel & Ankle Offloading (Pressure Relief): Place the pillow directly under the lower calves or ankles. This elevates the feet, keeping the heels completely suspended in the air to prevent contact with the bed. Knee Elevation (Joint & Spine Relief): Position the cushion under the knees to keep them slightly bent, relieving acute strain on the lower back, lumbar spine, and hip joints. Pregnancy Bump Support (Side Sleeping): Tucked gently under the belly when lying on your side to support the weight of a pregnancy bump and improve spinal posture.
