ABSTRACT:
A medical boot apparatus for use during treatment and healing of a vascular or other foot disorder. The apparatus includes a main body portion having an upper front opening and open toe portion, and a sole portion formed with a forward rim for protecting the toes. A raised heel cord portion is formed along an inner rear surface of the main body portion so as to support the back of a bedridden patient's leg such that the heel is elevated with no pressure exerted thereagainst. At least one fluid cushioning member is provided at the raised heel cord portion so as to cushion the back leg portion of the patient. The boot includes particular features designed to protect the foot under both bedridden and ambulatory conditions, and affords protection from trauma, abrasions, decubitus ulcer formation, moisture accumulation, external pressures, heat loss, etc.
