Q&A
Q: What is the Mölnlycke Heel Protector Pediatric (1400111) used for?
A: A pediatric heel-offloading device designed to protect the heel by fully relieving pressure and helping prevent pressure injuries in hospital or clinical settings.
Q: How does it work?
A: It uses a static air/soft support chamber that elevates and cushions the heel, redistributing pressure away from the heel and Achilles area to reduce skin breakdown risk.
Q: What is its main clinical purpose?
A: To offload the heel completely, maintain neutral foot alignment, and protect vulnerable tissue in immobilized or at-risk pediatric patients.
Q: Is it adjustable for different patients?
A: Yes. It uses adjustable straps to help secure the device and support stable positioning for different pediatric leg sizes.
Q: Can clinicians inspect the heel without removing it?
A: Yes. The design typically allows quick access for skin checks and monitoring without fully removing the boot, supporting routine clinical assessment.
Q: Who is it intended for?
A: It is intended for pediatric patients in hospitals or long-term care who are at risk of heel pressure injuries, and must be used by trained healthcare professionals.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect before each use for strap wear, stitching damage, or loss of cushioning integrity.
- Clean outer surfaces using approved hospital-grade disinfectants per facility infection-control protocols.
- Ensure hook-and-loop straps remain free of lint, fluids, and debris for secure fastening.
- Do not machine wash or autoclave unless explicitly approved by manufacturer instructions.
- Allow to air dry completely after cleaning; avoid direct heat sources that may damage materials.
- Check heel offloading alignment regularly to ensure proper pressure relief and positioning.
- Replace if padding becomes compressed, deformed, or no longer maintains effective heel suspension.
- Store in a clean, dry clinical environment away from contamination and direct sunlight.
