“Our impetus to use the Rooke Boot initially was due to a dismaying number of patients who developed decubitus heel ulcers during their perioperative course. Despite increased vigilance and care on the part of our resident and nursing staff this
remained a persistent problem.
Since routinely using the Rooke Boot ,a practice which we started over five years ago, this problem has been virtually eliminated. I cannot remember the last time one of our patients developed a decubitus heel ulcer while on our service.”

“I would like to point out that I have used different Rooke boots in the last several years with great satisfaction and all of my patients who undergo distal revascularisation wear the boot in the postoperative course to provide maximal dilatation which helps to assure patency of even very difficult distal bypasses.”

“I am very pleased to report our results of our trial with Rooke Boots, consisting of 50 patients on 100 limbs. The study was to assess Rooke Boots in the efficacy of prevention of the development of any pressure ulcers on the lower extremity and promotion of the healing of existing arterial wounds.
We had a 0% incidence of heel/toe ulcers for patients that wore Rooke Boots. Of the 50 patients we had there were 30 patients with 39 existing wounds that ranged from Stage 1 to Unstageable in the table outlined below
Stage I II III IV Unstageable DTIs
Number 21 10 3 1 3 1
66% of Stage I healed in ≤ 4 days with the rest resolving by 12 days
40% of Stage II healed in ≤ 9 days with the remaining showing marked improvement
Of the Stage III and 1 Stage IV ulcers we saw all of them reduce their size by 75% within 12 days. The DTI by day 12 converted to a Stage I of its original size
I was very impressed with the healing performance of Rooke Boots.”
