Intended Use; Symbols On The Product; Safety Information - Invacare Heel Pad Manual Del Usuario

The Invacare Leg Trough has been designed in consultation
with clinicians to provide maximum support for the whole
leg. The Leg Trough elevates the heels and allows them to
be suspended over the edge of the trough. This provides
maximum pressure relief for the vulnerable heel area.
Invacare Flexipads are highly versatile pads filled with silicone
gel, and can be used to position and support limbs, joints,
the torso or the head.
Invacare Mattress Extension has been designed for use to
fill the void created when the bed's mattress platform is
extended. It is not intended as a pressure relief product and
should be only used at the head end of the bed.

3.2 Intended Use

The Softform Accessories are a range of positioning aids
designed to assist in the reduction of interface pressure and
to be used as multiple purpose support aids.
