Ortholove® OrthoFoam SRE

This foam elevator uses an ergonomic design to ensure patient comfort, with stable elevation at heart level and without strain on the knee or hip. It’s indicated following cases of foot and ankle surgery, for application in theatre, on the recovery ward or even preoperatively for trauma cases. The SRE ensures reduction of swelling by allowing for knee flexion with its tapered end and gradual incline. A HomeFoam version of the Professional Series SRE is available. This product allows patients to experience a seamless recovery, with support that continues after leaving hospital.

Indicated for use in surgery for foot and ankle procedures, from trauma to total ankle replacements. This product gives free movement to the heel, thus removing the need to use upside down kidney dishes or improvised elevators. The carefully shaped cut-out that runs along the product improves patient experience. This is because it achieves a reduction of pressure on the Achilles or calf during surgery. The OrthoFoam Foot Holder is also sturdy, meaning the patient’s foot will stay elevated for the desired amount of time. Foot holders and footrests are commonly seen in office spaces due the long periods of time workers spent seated. They help prevent the adverse long-term effects of stress being applied to ankles, feet, knees and thighs. A foot holder will help distribute weight through posture alignment. This can also reduce back strain by allowing workers and patients to change positions easily.

This product is similar to the OrthoFoam SRE, except it’s slightly longer and doesn’t feature any tapering. It also features a less concave top surface. As such, it’s indicated for all surgical cases where elevation is necessary without offloading the heel. The OrthoFoam Adult Ramp Elevator is frequently used as a leg elevator in trauma cases to enable easy x-ray control. The main benefit is that the adult ramp elevator lets surgeons achieve accurate leg positioning. The ergonomic design, with slight concavity, ensures stable support of the limb without too much pressure on the calf. This ensures increased patient comfort over long periods of use.
