Soft protection for heels and elbows
The Heel and Elbow Protector with Gel Pad is designed to reduce pressure on the heels and elbows. Cut foam cushions the area, a gel pad sits inside, and Velcro straps hold it in place in bed or in a wheelchair.
Comfort when you spend long hours resting
When you spend a lot of time lying down or sitting, your heels and elbows take much of the pressure. This protector wraps around the heel or elbow in a soft, cushioned cup, so the area rests on foam rather than directly on the mattress or armrest.
A gel pad you can warm or cool
The gel pad can be heated or cooled for comfort. Check the temperature against your skin before each use.
