Wound dressings on the foot

Wounds on the feet are often difficult to heal for a variety of reasons. One difficulty is wound dressings on the foot, especially the heel, can be lost due to friction. This can cause problems when the wound is exposed - such as further damage to the wound healing at the wound periphery, potential infection, the cost and time associated with having to replace the dressing etc.

The Parafricta^TM Bootee has been designed for this situation. It provides the protection needed for swollen or bandaged feet.

The Parafricta^TM Bootee protects against initial skin breakdown due to friction and trauma. It also protects wound dressings on the foot, especially the heel, from being lost due to friction.

There are two types of Parafricta^TM Bootee

• The Slip on Bootee is for feet that are not swollen or bandaged.
• The Velcro Closure Bootee is for people who need the ability to adjust the Bootee due to swollen feet or bandaging on the foot or ankle.

These Parafricta^TM Bootees are proving very popular with patients as they give comfort and help healing.

My husband has MS and could not move around in bed and had a sore heel. The Bootee worked really well - my husband had comfort in bed when using it
