HeelAHip® Abduction Pillow with Heel Suspension. Blue. HeelAHip® was developed using the NPUAP (National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel) guidelines for offloading heels. With HeelAHip®, the weight of the leg is shifted to the calf and avoids the damage to the heel from tissue compression, which reduces the blood supply to the skin and other tissues. The duration and intensity of the heel pressure along with other intrinsic factors such as arterial blood supply or edema can contribute to rapid onset of ischemia and pressure injury, or heel ulcers from lack of circulation. HeelAHip® offloads to the calf to avoid the loss of circulation in the heels rather than relying on the archaic use of suspended limbs or other re-purposed hospital equipment. UOM: 2/BX.
