Gel Heel Cup

The SmartGuard Gel Heel Cup (GEL-HC), sized at 7”L x 5”W x 2.5”H, is used in surgical procedures to offer pressure relief, shock absorption, and comfort while also providing support to the Achilles tendon area while a patient is in prolonged procedures. They are engineered to minimize the risks of pressure, shear, and impact without the need for straps or hook-and-loop fastenings.

Key advantages include:

• Gel positioners maintain shape under the patient's weight to provide a more consistent support surface and pressure distribution compared to foam positioners.No-slip backing
• Radiolucent, latex-free gel maintains imaging clarity and patient safety.
• Can be heated and cooled. See general case and use guide for more details.
• OR-durable reuse: Recommended to be used with AMD's impervious armboard covers for infection control benefits but can be used without. Should be cleaned & disinfected with hospital-approved alcohol-free disinfectants after every use.
