Heel-Float Heel Protector, Small, 3 Inch Wide

The Heel-Float Heel Protector suspends the heel over an air cavity to completely eliminate pressure on the heel and surrounding tissue, making it an effective solution for preventing and managing pressure injuries in bed-bound and at-risk patients. 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.

Ideal For

Wound care nurses and clinicians managing pediatric or smaller adult patients at risk for heel pressure injuries will find the Small Heel-Float's air cavity suspension design provides true pressure elimination suited to narrower heel profiles. Long-term care and hospital staff caring for bed-bound patients with smaller frames will benefit from the moisture-wicking Cozy Cloth lining and maximum air circulation that help maintain skin integrity during extended periods of immobility. Patients with existing heel pressure sores will find the combination of pressure elimination, cooling gel, and moisture management supports the healing environment needed for wound resolution. Rehabilitation clinicians managing patients with foot-drop risk will appreciate the anti-foot-drop construction that controls dorsal flexion while maintaining heel protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this heel protector launderable?
Yes. The Heel-Float is launderable and reusable, and is guaranteed for six months of use.

Does this protector help prevent foot drop?
