About the heel up®and all up®

The heel up® and all up®, manufactured by Levabo in Denmark and sold by V-M Orthotics Ltd here in the UK, are new products for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers.

The range has been developed in collaboration with leading wound care experts and ensures optimum comfort and hygiene in the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers on the most exposed areas such as heels, hips, elbows, shoulders, the sacrum, etc.

The products are multi-functional, i.e. the same product can be used in different ways to optimise the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers.

heel up® and all up® are single patient, disposable products with an ergonomic design that provides good stability. The surface layer is made from a soft, flexible, heat and moisture absorbent nonwoven material, which makes the heel up® and all up® comfortable against the skin.
