Anti-decubitus heel protection Molly

Movement serves as a protective mechanism against pressure ulcers and other bed-related complications. Individuals with decreased sensation, limited mobility, and/or altered consciousness may lack the ability to respond to the body’s warning signals, such as pain or discomfort. In such situations, individuals may need support and relief in lying and sitting positions. Our product series of positioning pillows is used as an aid to relieve pressure and provide support during positioning and position changes, benefiting both the individual and the caregiver. Regular, minor adjustments in position are often enough to ensure proper blood circulation(1), thereby reducing the risk of pressure ulcers. Example of positioning Positioning Pillows can be used to relieve pressure and position the individual based on their diagnosis, needs, and general condition. Keep in mind that relief should be as even as possible, and a change in position always results in increased pressure on another part of the body(5). You can learn more about positioning and get specific tips in our positioning guide. In a supine position Molly Heel Protection can be used to relieve the heels. Always use a sock or tubular bandage between the skin and Molly Heel Protection. Ensure that the Velcro strap opening is facing upward. In a lateral position Rotate Molly Heel Protection so that the Velcro strap opening is facing down towards the mattress. The heel protector should be loosely positioned to allow rotation around the leg. Covers for comfort and hygiene Molly Heel Protection comes with a liquidproof hygiene cover for easy cleaning.
