- ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS:
- What makes Heelift Glide so unique? A soft, smooth exterior fabric allows the patient’s leg to “glide” from side to side, thereby preventing it from catching on sheets and blankets.
Heelift AFO Ultra and Heelift AFO are not typical ankle foot orthosis devices. While both products are indicated for conditions treated by convention AFOs, Heelift AFO boots also provide offloading benefits to help prevent heel ulcers. Additionally, the semi rigid brace and the outer lining help maintain proper foot position and assist in preventing foot drop deformity.

- Reusable anti-rotation wedge (univ. fit)
- Smooth or Convoluted Interior

KEY FEATURES:
- Allows the leg to glide easily across bed sheets and under covers.
- A longer forefoot area helps protect toes.
- Keeps the heel offloading boot in place and helps support the forefoot.
- Semi-rigid Polypropylene Brace: the soft material of Heelift AFOs, together with the semi-rigid polypropylene brace, provide the best possible control of the ankle’s position and motion.
- Non-slip Traction Sole: allows patients to walk short distances, meaning you don’t have to remove and reapply the boot after the patient is transferred from the bed or wheelchair. Assistance is recommended.

Heelift AFO
This boot is really comfortable and I can easily get up from the bed and move a wheelchair without slipping. This must be an air cooled boot because I don't feel like I am even wearing it on my foot. The other boots get hot and very uncomfortable.
