Elbow & Heel Protectors for Pressure Sores
Heel and Elbow Protectors range from sleeves to pads to protect the skin from shearing or prevent pressure ulcers from developing. Individuals who have limited mobility and are confined to the bed are susceptible to pressure ulcers. Cradling the heel with heel pillows or foot pillows, offloads pressure to eliminate this pressure point and redistribute it throughout the leg. Elbow protectors work in the same way by providing bed sore elbow protection.
Other products include heel pads and elbow pads that slip on like a sleeve to prevent shear and friction against sensitive skin. A reusable sleeve like the Briggs Heelbo is universal to fit the heel or elbow. It is ideal for daily use for wheelchair users. Wheelchair armrests can put pressure on delicate skin and an elbow pad is a quick solution for reducing pressure while protecting vulnerable skin.
