The Heel Pads Series 4103 are designed to help protect and support the heel and ankle during surgical procedures and patient positioning. The range includes heel pads and protectors designed for different surgical positions, including supine and lateral procedures.

Models 4103 and 4103-1 are designed to secure and protect the heel and ankle without requiring hook-and-loop attachment. The patient’s heel is positioned within the cup-shaped cut-out, helping to provide targeted cushioning and support.

The 4103-1 can also be used to support the neck during supine surgical procedures, providing additional versatility within the operating theatre.

Models 4103-3 and 4103-5 provide additional heel protection options, with the 4103-3 featuring Velcro® attachment to help secure the protector in position during surgery.

Heel and Ankle Protection During Surgery

The heel can be particularly vulnerable to pressure when a patient remains in a fixed position during surgery. Appropriate padding and positioning equipment can help provide cushioning and protection around the heel and ankle while supporting safe patient positioning.

The Heel Pads Series 4103 provides several options for different clinical applications. Models 4103 and 4103-1 use a cup cut-out to accommodate the patient’s heel, helping to secure the heel within the protective pad without requiring a hook-and-loop attachment.

For procedures where additional securing is required, the 4103-3 heel protector uses Velcro attachment and is designed for protection of the heel and ankle during supine or lateral surgery.
