Heel ulcers are the most common facility-acquired pressure ulcer in long-term acute care facilities. Heels are particularly vulnerable to pressure injury due to direct sustained pressure on the heel from prolonged contact with the supporting surface. As a result, much of the pressure from the weight of the foot and lower leg is concentrated on the small area of skin overlying the heel.
- Intelligent leg support zone offloads pressure from the heel and redistributes it to the larger surface area of the lower leg.
