Heelbo Heel and Elbow Protectors for Pressure Sore Prevention

Bedridden patients and individuals with limited mobility face constant risk of painful pressure sores on heels and elbows from prolonged contact with mattresses and bed rails. Heelbo Heel and Elbow Protectors deliver friction and shear reduction through sewn-in contoured foam padding and breathable stretch fabric, helping prevent skin breakdown during extended bed rest or wheelchair use.

Key Features

• Sewn-in contoured foam pad stays in place over vulnerable pressure points, eliminating rolling and binding during movement.
• Flexible stretch weave fabric allows continuous air circulation to skin while maintaining secure, comfortable fit throughout wear.
• Color-coded sizing system (yellow, blue, white, green) simplifies selection and inventory management in clinical settings.
• Machine washable construction retains shape and cushioning effectiveness after repeated laundering cycles.
• Slip-on design requires no straps or fasteners, making application quick for caregivers and patients.

FAQs

Q: How do I measure to select the correct size?

A: Use a flexible measuring tape around the widest part of the heel or elbow while relaxed. Match your measurement to the circumference range: Small (up to 16"), Medium (up to 17"), Large (up to 19"), or X-Large (up to 23").

Q: Can these protectors be used on both heels and elbows?

A: Yes, the universal design fits both anatomical areas. Select size based on the specific body part's circumference for optimal protection and comfort.

Q: How often should I launder the protectors?

A: Wash after each 24-hour wear period or sooner if visibly soiled. Clean protectors reduce bacterial accumulation and maintain skin health.

Q: Will the foam padding flatten out over time?

A: The contoured foam is engineered to retain cushioning properties through repeated machine washing. Replace protectors when padding no longer rebounds after compression.

Q: Do the color codes indicate different features besides size?

A: No, colors serve only as visual size identifiers (yellow=Small, blue=Medium, white=Large, green=X-Large). All sizes provide identical cushioning and shear reduction performance.
