Of pressure ulcers, 30.3% occur in the heel and 6.1% in the ankle bone. In bedridden patients, heel friction causes ulcers as a result of mechanical stress. This condition remains very common despite advancements in treatment options.
The specially designed Soft Heel Protector prevents the formation of bedsores caused by friction and pressure, and accelerates healing in cases where skin integrity begins to deteriorate. In long-term treatments, it helps reduce the load against weight-bearing, preventing the recurrence of sores.
The Soft Heel Protector protects your foot from sores caused by hard mattress surfaces, as well as minor bumps or impacts, by holding it in a padded and soft protective layer.
