  • Publication number: 20190175381
    Abstract: A heel lift device includes an elongate resilient and cushioning body formed of an open cell polyurethane foam and having a top surface, a bottom surface, opposite side surfaces, and opposite end faces sloped at angled parallel planes to one another. In use, the bottom side is placed against the lower leg or ankle of the user and the elongate foam body is wrapped about the user's leg into a generally circular configuration so that at least a portion of the angled opposite end faces meet together. Next, the foam body is secured in place with one or more straps having releasable fasteners, such as hook and loop fasteners. The angled end faces allow for adjusted, uniform fitting to different size legs with no gaps. When fitted on the user's leg (or ankle), the device elevates the heel and eliminates pressure on the heel to prevent sores.
