PRESSURE RELIEF & PROTECTION: Helps prevent the pain and discomfort of heel pressure injuries, also known as bedsores, by elevating the foot off the mattress surface. The cushion completely floats the heel for continuous pressure relief. COMFORTABLE FOR MULTIPLE SIZES: Easily adjustable, expandable straps and stretch panels ensure a comfortable fit for a range of calf sizes (from 10in to 18in / 25cm to 46 cm). Boots are ambidextrous. PREVENTS FOOT DROP: The unique design keeps the ankle at the optimal angle to prevent foot drop which makes walking difficult and increases the risk of tripping and falls. CARE CONFIDENTLY: Our Sage Heel Protectors are trusted by nurses across the U.S. to help reduce the risk of bedsores. When a person is bedridden, the pressure of the heels on the mattress can cause painful bedsores. The unique design of the Prevalon boot keeps the heel completely lifted off the bed, relieving pressure. Prevalon Heel Protectors are made from breathable fabric and gently cradle and elevate the foot to offload pressure. Our hospital-quality heel protectors are soft and comfortable on the foot and ankle, with adjustable straps to ensure the right fit. They were designed with caregivers in mind, staying in place so you don’t need to constantly re-adjust.
