Why Choose the Invacare Maxxcare Pro Heel Boot?
Advanced Protection for High-Risk Patients
The Maxxcare Pro Heel Boot provides exceptional comfort and highly effective pressure reduction for patients at high risk of developing pressure injuries to the vulnerable heel area. For individuals who already have heel pressure damage, this boot is designed to support wound healing through its ability to completely off-load pressure from the heel.
Clinical best practice supports this approach: NICE (2014) and the European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (EPUAP, 2014) both recommend heel off-loading—often described as “floating heels”—as a vital intervention in pressure ulcer prevention and treatment. The Maxxcare Pro Heel Boot delivers this clinically recommended solution in a practical, comfortable format suitable for a wide range of care environments.
Specialist Vicair® Technology
Developed by Vicair®, renowned for creating specialist pressure-redistributing cushions, the Maxxcare Pro Heel Boot incorporates their proven expertise. The exterior is engineered from durable, low-friction material, while the soft inner surface supports comfort and protection.
Four removable air tubes create a cushioned, enveloping effect around the foot, ensuring complete heel protection while maintaining optimal positioning. This intelligent design maximises pressure redistribution and promotes healing where needed.
Effective in Any Position
Lightweight and comfortable, the Maxxcare Pro Heel Boot can be worn by patients in virtually any position. When used in a supine (lying) or optimal seated position, it fully off-loads pressure from the heel, reducing the risk of injury and encouraging recovery where damage already exists.
As a preventative tool, it helps safeguard vulnerable heels; as a therapeutic intervention, it delivers reliable support for healing. The pre-inflated air capsules provide stability, comfort, and effective pressure redistribution.
Designed to Reduce Friction and Shear
The smooth outer fabric ensures minimal friction between the patient’s skin and the support surface, helping to protect against shear-related damage—a key contributing factor in heel ulcer development. Combined with the boot’s optimised internal structure, this ensures comprehensive protection for a high-risk area.
