Product Overview
The Skil-Care Heel-Float Plus (503045) Heel Protector is designed to provide superior heel protection and pressure relief for patients at risk of developing or healing from pressure sores. Its innovative design off-loads the heel over an air cavity while cutouts eliminate pressure on the lateral and medial malleoli, ensuring optimal comfort and protection.
The adjustable foot band secures below the bunions on the big and small toes, allowing maximum air circulation to promote healing of existing sores. A water-based gel insert cools and reduces pressure under the ankle, while cloth barriers on Velcro closures prevent skin abrasion. The rigid insert helps prevent foot-drop, maintaining proper foot positioning.
Extended foot support keeps blankets and sheets off the toes, enhancing comfort. The protector is launderable and reusable, making it a cost-effective solution. The cozy cloth exterior reduces friction and wicks away moisture, keeping the skin dry and protected.
