PRA Medical Systems is committed to the development of innovative pressure management products.

We combine clinical outcomes and strategic solutions to enhance patient care by addressing PREVENTABLE conditions associated with Hip surgery.

Approximately 600,000 hip replacements are performed annually in the United States.
Prior to Heel A Hip, one must rely on nurses to continuously offload the heels with pillows or heel boots.

Heel ulcers are the second most common location for pressure ulcers.

Pressure ulcers are particularly prevalent in surgical patients.

Pillows and heel boots are incompatible with the abductor wedge as demonstrated by the 91% incidence of developing FAPU (facility acquired pressure ulcers) on the heels with Braden scores of 15-18.

Heel boots may hyperextend the popliteal vein leading to venous pulling.

Pillows are challenging to maintain proper placement and consistency, in addition to high nursing demands.

Heel ulcers are costly and if not treated properly may lead to cellulites and or osteomyelitis. Both have the potential to cause sepsis and death.

Pressure Ulcers as a secondary diagnosis have increased 212,000 since 1993. 1 in 8 admissions ended in death.

Now, Heel-A-Hip protects your patient’s heels from bed sores while providing leg abduction. PRA Medical Systems will DECREASE the national pressure ulcer rate, healthcare costs, and litigation associated with high risk patients undergoing Hip surgery.
