People with limited mobility, especially those confined to bed, are often at risk for painful heel pressure injuries.1 Prevalon Heel Protector III helps reduce the risk of bedsores by keeping the heel floated, relieving pressure. The stretch panels help ensure a secure fit by allowing the heel protector to be adjusted to different calf sizes.
Prevalon Heel Protector III also has an integrated wedge to help prevent the foot and leg from rotating out, helping protect against nerve damage in the leg.
- Cushioned bottom helps keep heel floated
- Comfort-grip interior keeps heel protector in place
- Stretch panels comfortably adjust to calf size for a secure fit
Prevalon Heel Protector III comes in three sizes to accommodate different calf circumferences.
