Why does the Heelift come in a smooth and a convoluted foam?
The original Heelift was in convoluted foam for improved ventilation because heat buildup causes patient discomfort. However, edematous legs showed indentations or dimples which caused concern by caregivers and patients. Though the skin indentations caused no harm, it was frightening. The Heelift Smooth has eliminated that problem in the edematous leg, but may be somewhat warmer.
