Maxxcare Heel Pro Evolution - Advanced Heel Offloading Device for Prevention and Treatment of Heel Pressure Injuries
The Maxxcare Heel Pro Evolution is a clinically engineered heel offloading device designed to effectively prevent and treat heel pressure injuries (pressure ulcers/decubitus) across all stages. By combining advanced pressure redistribution technology with exceptional patient comfort, it supports optimal skin protection and improved clinical outcomes in hospitals, long-term care, and home care environments.

Heel pressure injuries are among the most common and costly complications in immobile patients, often caused by prolonged pressure, shear, and friction on vulnerable tissue. The Heel Pro Evolution directly addresses these risks with a proven offloading approach that elevates the heel completely away from contact surfaces.

Clinically Effective Heel Offloading
At the core of the design are air-filled SmartTubes, developed using advanced pressure care technology. These tubes gently lift the heel, redistributing pressure away from the calcaneus while maintaining stable positioning of the lower leg. This complete offloading mechanism helps reduce tissue stress and supports both prevention and wound healing.

The device also protects surrounding structures, including the Achilles tendon, minimizing localized pressure and enhancing overall limb positioning.

Protection Against Shear, Friction, and Skin Breakdown
The smooth outer material off the Heel Pro Evolution reduces friction and shear forces during repositioning and movement. This is essential in preventing skin breakdown and maintaining skin integrity, especially in vulnerable patients.
Designed for Patient Comfort and Compliance

Comfort is essential for consistent use. The Heel Pro Evolution is made from soft, breathable materials that support long-term wear, both day and night. Its lightweight and quiet construction promotes uninterrupted rest, which is critical for recovery and healing.

Patients benefit from:

• Reduced discomfort during prolonged bed rest
• Improved sleep quality
• A secure yet gentle fit for sensitive skin

Supports Mobility and Daily Care
Unlike many heel offloading devices, the Heel Pro Evolution allows safe, short-distance mobility, such as transferring from bed to chair or walking to the bathroom, without removing the device. The non-slip sole enhances stability during these movements.

Its intuitive design ensures:

• Quick and correct application
• Minimal training required for caregivers
• Reduced workload in busy clinical settings

Hygienic and Easy to Maintain
The device is fully machine washable at 60°C, supporting infection control protocols and making it suitable for repeated clinical use. Durable materials and simple maintenance contribute to long-term efficiency in care environments.

Proven Performance in Clinical Practice
Clinical evaluations have demonstrated that the Heel Pro Evolution effectively offloads the heel and protects patients at risk of pressure injuries, while also being well accepted by both patients and healthcare professionals.
