Parafricta Bootees vs UK Standard Care to Prevent Heel Pressure Ulcers

Start date: October 26, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This randomised study will assess whether Parafricta bootees, when used in addition to normal standard care, can reduce the incidence of heel PUs in patients at very high risk of skin breakdown. The participant group will be hospital inpatients at high risk of PUs (Waterlow score of 20 or more) who are bedbound and do not have existing heel PUs. The participants will be randomised to an intervention arm using Parafricta plus standard care, or a control arm of standard care only. The primary outcome is incidence of heel PUs at day 3. Secondary outcomes are incidence of PUs at day 14, length of stay, severity of PUs, patient acceptability of device, cost-effectiveness.
