Description
Heel-float Heel Protector, size Small, width 3 inches, uses a water-based gel insert to cool and lower pressure under the ankle. The outer cloth reduces friction, wicks moisture, and promotes airflow to support healing of existing sores. The heel is positioned over an air cavity that redistributes pressure away from the heel, minimizing shear forces on sensitive skin.
Foam-cushioned sides guard the lateral and medial malleoli, while anti-foot-drop construction helps control dorsal flexion during movement. Velcro closures include cloth barriers to prevent skin abrasion where straps contact the skin. The unit is launderable and reusable, with a six-month guarantee against defects.
Designed to fit around the heel and ankle in a compact form, this protector accommodates conservative pressure-relief and immobilization protocols for leg and foot care. Its combination of cooling gel, breathable fabric, and secure closures aims to reduce comfort-related disruptions while promoting a stable healing environment.
