The Rooke Perioperative Boot
Rooke Perioperative Boot
The Rooke® Perioperative Boot is designed to provide optimal protection and insulation to the lower extremities of patients who are confined to bed in a hospital, nursing home or home health care setting.
Protection of an ischemic or healing limb is generally regarded as an important aspect of medical management. Placing such a limb in a Rooke Perioperative Boot® will give the limb the extra protection is requires. The boot's molded foam cradle surrounds the dorsal region of the limb, absorbing pressure from bedding which touches the limb and acting as a barrier against additional trauma. The cradle's anatomically correct design distributes weight evenly to prevent pressure sores during prolonged bed rest. The cradle also suspends the limb and limited off-loading is achieved. Gentle warming of the limb is achieved by reducing heat loss frequently associated with ischemic conditions. The boot does not create heat, but acts as an insulating barrier that retains body-generated heat.
It is ideal for patients recovering from surgery, being treated for ischemia, neuropathy or other related conditions. It is also useful for patients suffering from pressure ulcers.

Design Features
Molded Foam Cradle
The foam cradle provides support for the heel and leg, while also providing extra protection. It's anatomical contouring ensures that weight is evenly distributed to prevent pressure sores from developing during prolonged bed rest.
Bi-layer Construction
The Rooke Perioperative Boot® has an inner layer of seamless soft fleece. No seams mean that there are no rough edges for sensitive limbs to rub against. The outer layer is constructed from low-friction fabric, which minimizes friction between the boot and bedding. The boot was also designed to be soft-to-the touch by the patient's other limb.
Hook & Loop Closures
Adjustable fasteners allow for easy operation by nursing staff or the patient. The four fasteners are strategically placed so the boot may be worn in a variety of positions. This adaptability allows the boot to be manipulated for use with many conditions.
Easy Sizing
Each boot is made from a convenient one-size-fits-all design that fits either the right or the left foot. To accommodate limb size, adjustments can be made with the boot's four hook and loop fasteners.
Long-term Use
The Rooke Perioperative Boot® may be used as long as the patient needs the extra warmth and protection it offers. It may also be the first tool used by patients in gaining greater use of their limb. For patients who desire greater mobility we offer the super-insulate Rooke Boot®, which may be used during limited ambulation.
The Rooke Perioperative Boot® is intended to be positioned in numerous ways to ensure that warmth needs and air flow requirements are met.
