NYOrtho ZERO-G Heel Pillow™ Heel Protector
RECOMMENDED USE:
For patients with cognitive and/or physical disabilities that prevent them from performing protective behaviors such as repositioning or expressing discomfort. It plays a critical role in pressure injury prevention and is a key component of comprehensive care for high-risk populations in hospitals, nursing homes, and home care environments.
Description
The NYOrtho ZERO-G Heel Pillow™ is a heel off-loading cushion designed to suspend the heel above the mattress and eliminate direct contact during bed rest. By off-loading the heel into air, it helps reduce sustained pressure associated with decubitus formation in high-risk patients while supporting pressure injury prevention.
In addition to heel protection, the ZERO-G Heel Pillow™ provides gentle lower-leg elevation and positional support during prolonged immobility. Its open, non-wearable design allows easy access for inspection, treatment, and rebandaging without disturbing the patient, making it well suited for use in medical, post-acute, and long-term care settings.
