PAPWORTH HOSPITAL NHS FOUNDATION TRUST

Patients here at Papworth Hospital NHS Trust have been using the Matchett FOOTSTOOLS since 1984 and continue to use them today. They are used by our inpatients within the Cardiac Directorate for easing pressure and for maintaining the correct height of lower limb elevation. Nursing staff at our hospital endorse the reactions of patients who find them comfortable, simple and easy to use. We have found that these low technology aids are as effective as high cost technology.
