Zero-G Heel Suspension Boot, Medium, Pressure Relief, Anti-Foot-Drop

The Drive Medical Zero-G Heel Suspension Boot is designed to eliminate pressure and friction on the heel by floating it over an open air cavity for zero pressure contact. The extended, cushioned design allows air circulation around the heel while super-soft velvet cloth protects thin, fragile skin from friction and shear. Foam cushioned sides protect the lateral and medial malleoli. The anti-foot-drop feature controls dorsal flexion to maintain proper ankle positioning during periods of immobility. A removable gel pack provides additional pressure reduction beneath the ankle. Padded adjustable closure allows easy application and removal. Launderable. Light blue. Medium (width 4).

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the air cavity suspension work?
The boot is constructed with an extended, cushioned design that positions the heel over an open air cavity rather than resting on a foam or gel surface. This completely offloads the heel from any contact pressure. The air cavity also allows passive air circulation around the heel.

What does the removable gel pack do?
The gel pack can be inserted beneath the ankle area to further reduce pressure on the ankle and surrounding bony prominences. It can be removed when not needed or when the boot is being laundered.

What does the anti-foot-drop feature do?
The anti-foot-drop feature controls dorsal flexion, maintaining the foot in a neutral or slightly dorsiflexed position to prevent the foot from dropping into plantarflexion during prolonged bed rest. The boot's design helps maintain proper ankle alignment during immobility.

How do I launder the boot?
Remove the gel pack before laundering. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and allow to air dry completely before reuse. Do not machine dry, as heat may damage the foam and velvet materials. Follow your facility's infection control guidelines for laundering shared patient equipment.
