Heel/Elbow Protectors

Heel/elbow protectors are medical devices that help prevent skin breakdown and pressure ulcers in patients who are bedridden or have limited mobility. These protectors are typically made of soft, breathable materials such as foam, gel, or fleece. They are worn on the heels or elbows to provide cushioning and protection from pressure and friction. Heel/elbow protectors are commonly used in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and home healthcare settings to promote patient comfort and prevent the development of pressure sores.

Q: What are heel/elbow protectors used for?

A: Heel/elbow protectors are used to reduce the risk of pressure ulcers or bedsores in patients who are immobile or bedridden. They help distribute the pressure evenly and reduce the friction between the skin and the bed or wheelchair.

Q: What are the different types of heel/elbow protectors?

A: The different types include foam, gel, and air-filled cushions. Foam cushions are lightweight and comfortable, gel cushions provide excellent pressure relief, and air-filled cushions can be adjusted for customized support.

Q: How should heel/elbow protectors be cleaned?

A: They should be cleaned according to the manufacturer's instructions. In most cases, they can be wiped down with a mild disinfectant solution or washed in a washing machine on a gentle cycle.
