What is the function of the white low friction backing material on the bottom of the Heelift?
The white tricot material allows the foam Heelift to glide over bed sheets without friction. This keeps the foot firmly in proper position because the foot moves easily over the bed encouraging motion, decreasing DVT risk, and saving nursing time from frequent repositioning of the device. The tricot material does not cover the entire boot in order to avoid heat retention, and to allow the boot to breath better.
