Vitále Foam Heel Dressings are highly absorbent and easily shape around a tender or wounded heel for protection, absorbency & retention of warmth. They can be used for treatment of wounds with moderate to heavy exudates. The foam holds exudates until dressing change time; and the dressing continues to provide protection and comfort.

Vitále Foam Heel Dressings are sterilized by exposure to Gamma Radiation, and must not be re-sterilized. The entire dressing is composed of highly absorbent foam, with a vapor-permeable film backing to hold moisture and allow air to vent. Superior absorption draws exudates into the dressing, to help prevent maceration of the wound bed. The unique design of the dressing allows one size to fit all, with overlap on the sides to seal off any leaks.

Features & Benefits

• High Absorbency: The foam construction efficiently absorbs and retains exudate, reducing the risk of maceration and promoting a moist healing environment.
• Conformable Design: The dressing is designed to conform to the unique shape of the heel, ensuring comprehensive coverage and protection.
• Vapor-Permeable Film: The breathable film backing allows moisture vapor to escape while protecting the wound from external contaminants.
• Secure Fit: The dressing's overlapping sides ensure a secure fit, sealing off potential leaks and providing consistent protection throughout the wear time.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for a variety of heel and ankle wounds, including pressure sores, arterial ulcers, diabetic ulcers, post-operative wounds, and second-degree burns.

How To Apply

1. Clean and rinse the wound in the usual manner.
2. Place the dressing on the sole of the heel first, with the “sharp wings” extending out to either side of the heel. The adhesive will hold the dressing to the bottom of the foot while the dressing is contoured to the ankle.
3. Adhere the center of the dressing to the back of the ankle, spreading smoothly over the heel. The rounded wings should extend on either side of the ankle.
4. Gently adhere the rounded wings around the ankle, being careful to smooth the dressing evenly.
5. Adhere the pointed wings to the side of the heel and over the already adhered rounded wings to seal.
6. Wrap the entire dressing with soft elastic gauze to hold in place. The adhesive on the dressing itself is only meant to hold during the application process.
7. If the Foam becomes saturated, exudates will leak out the side of the foam. When this occurs, the dressing should be changed.
8. Dressing change as directed, when the foam is saturated, or at least every 7 days.
