* Elevates the entire length of both lower legs avoiding pressure that could constrict arterial or venous blood flow, suspending the achilles and heels to alleviate pressure as well as to ensure access and aeration for draining ulcers

Single Heel Wedge
* Elevates the entire length of the lower leg, avoiding pressure that could constrict arterial or venous blood flow, suspending the achilles and heel to alleviate pressure as well as to ensure access and aeration for draining ulcers

Braun Block
* Offers support and comfort for the leg and positions the ankle and foot for relief of pressure associated pain, which can often be experienced during rehabilitation of lower leg injuries

Patient Wedge
* A body positioning device that can be used in helping to redistribute pressure for "at-risk" patients. The patient wedge can also aid in the management and healing of existing pressure ulcers, by allowing patients to be positioned on their side to reduce sacral pressure. The patient wedge helps to provide side positioning as well as offering forward positioning and roll control

Pressure Offloading Footstool
* A multi-purpose device designed to provide pressure re-distribution for the lower leg while also completely offloading the achilles area and heels duting sitting. The footstool can help to prevent of Heel PU's for those patients seated for long periods

Concave Heel Wedge
* A sloping, contoured leg support that inhibits lateral movement without restraints, helping to provide support for the calf and positioning the foot appropriately while elevating the heel

Charnley Block
* Offers stabilisation of hip abduction to help manage the risk of dislocation following hip replacement surgery (anthroplasty). The specially shaped device maintains knee separation comfortably while a hook and loop strap secures the positioning of the legs.
