Heel and Elbow Protectors

Heel and elbow protectors are used to provide extra cushioning and support for the heels and elbows. They are commonly used to prevent and treat pressure ulcers or bed sores in people who are bedridden or have limited mobility. These protectors help distribute pressure evenly and relieve stress on the bony prominences of the heels and elbows, thus reducing the risk of skin breakdown and injury. They may also be used to protect fragile skin from friction and rubbing against surfaces. Additionally, heel and elbow protectors can improve comfort, promote faster healing, and aid in prevention of infection.
