Heel-Float Heel Protector, Medium, 4 Inch Wide

The Heel-Float Heel Protector suspends the heel over an air cavity to completely eliminate pressure on the heel and surrounding tissue. A water-based gel insert cools and lowers pressure under the ankle, while the Cozy Cloth lining reduces friction and shear and wicks away moisture. Foam-cushioned sides protect the lateral and medial malleoli, and the anti-foot-drop construction controls dorsal flexion. Launderable, reusable, and guaranteed for six months. Medium size, 4 inches wide.
