Mölnlycke Z-Flex Heel Boot

Protect Your Heels with the Advanced Mölnlycke Z-Flex Fluidized Heel Boot

Did you know the heel is the second most common site for pressure ulcers in adults? Heel pressure injuries can significantly impact a patient's mobility and quality of life, potentially leading to serious complications like osteomyelitis or even limb amputation. Patients at higher risk, including those with diabetes, vascular disease, immobility, or a low Braden Scale score, need specialized care.^{1, 2} International guidelines strongly recommend off-loading devices that completely lift the heel from the bed to prevent these issues.³ The Mölnlycke® Z-Flex™ Fluidized Heel Boot is expertly designed to provide this crucial heel elevation while ensuring maximum comfort and ease of use.

Experience the innovation of the Z-Flex boot, featuring Mölnlycke’s proprietary fluidized positioner combined with a single low-pressure air chamber. The unique fluidized positioner gently molds and contours around the delicate Achilles tendon, offering unparalleled support and protection. The integrated air chamber utilizes Positive Air Displacement technology to effectively redistribute pressure away from the heel and Achilles tendon, dispersing it across the entire lower leg. This not only enhances patient comfort but also promotes natural leg alignment without the need for cumbersome wedges or pillows.
