For post-operative use, the BoneFoam Edema Reduction Leg Elevator (ERLE) provides effective and comfortable leg elevation above the heart for proper blood circulation and edema control. Ideal for patients with leg casts, post-trauma, or lower extremity surgical procedures.
Elevating the Leg Can Reduce Swelling
Leg elevation can help reduce swelling. When elevated, the hydrostatic pressure decreases, and the net movement of fluid goes back to the capillaries and allows fluid to be reabsorbed. The elevation uses gravity to increase venous flow back to the heart which lower venous pressure and helps to reduce pain.
Stabilizing the Entire Leg Aids Healing
The lower extremity is positioned above the heart to lower hydrostatic pressure in legs. Knees are bent for comfort and to relax the patient's tendons. The lower leg (knee to ankle) is tilted on an angle to allow gravity to naturally help with blood flow. By cradling the extremity, the leg is kept as stable as possible and does not fall off the cushion.
Consistent Elevation Aids Recovery
Being consistent with elevating the leg above the heart is vital to decreasing the edema that is causing pain. Coupling consistent elevation with icing and can help reduce swelling and pain.
