Elevate
Heel elevation and suspension cushion for ankle and heel off-loading
Heel elevation and suspension cushion designed to ensure the protection and off-loading of high risk ankles and heels. Features contoured breathable AirFLX™ gel-infused memory foam with non-slip bottom cover and raised side bolsters.
Clinical Benefits for Skin Protection
Immersion
Contoured AirFLX™ gel-infused memory foam allows the heel to settle into the cushion for full pressure redistribution.
Off-Loading
Cradles the leg while elevating the heel from the mattress, removing direct pressure from the bony prominence.
Friction & Shear Reduction
Smooth interior fabric and stable side bolsters reduce micro-motion that contributes to skin breakdown.
Positioning
Raised side bolsters keep the lower leg aligned and prevent rotation during use.
Comfort through AirFLX™
Gel-infused memory foam dissipates heat and promotes airflow for sustained client comfort.
Breathable Stretch Cover
Soft, four-way stretch cover with ultrasonic-welded seams reduces pressure points and enhances breathability.
Durability
High-density base layer holds shape under load and through repeated cleaning cycles.
CertiPUR-US® & BioFLX™
Tested for emissions, content, and durability. BioFLX™ replaces fossil fuel ingredients with natural seed-based oils. CAL TB117-2013 flammability compliant.
Easy-to-Clean
Wipeable, machine-washable cover compatible with hospital-grade disinfectants.
Placement & Clinical Use
Indicated Use
Elevate is designed for heel and ankle off-loading in supine positioning. Use for clients at risk of heel pressure injuries (Stage I prevention through Stage IV management) when sustained heel offloading is required.
Placement
With the client lying supine, gently lift the lower legs and place the Elevate cushion directly under the legs, allowing clearance below the knees. Heels should be suspended and free of any contact with the mattress surface. Place the cushion widthwise and upright with lateral side bolsters parallel to the mattress edges. GripEx fabric on the bottom cover reduces movement against the mattress.
Daily Check
Confirm heels are not in contact with the mattress surface. Check for skin redness or irritation on contact areas (back of lower legs, popliteal fossa).
Cover Use Notes
The cover is designed with pressure distribution characteristics to support urethane and viscoelastic foams with optimal performance. It is not recommended that additional sheets or incontinence pads be placed on top of the product cover as they can reduce immersion and create fabric wrinkles/creases which can lead to pressure points.
Contraindications
Elevate is not recommended for clients with:
- Knee contractures that prevent proper positioning (can cause increased pressure to the popliteal fossa or prevent heel clearance)
- Open ulcers on the back of the lower extremities
- Severe arterial insufficiency
Specific clinical applications should be based on client physical and functional assessments by a healthcare professional.
