Heelbo heel and elbow protectors help reduce shear and friction to heels and elbows. The flexible stretch weave allows skin to breathe, fits comfortably, and slips on easily. A sewn-in contoured foam pad eliminates rolling and binding and helps prevent sores due to friction and shear. The Heelbo Premium gel insert uses a viscoelastic polymer pad that reduces pressure by up to 38 percent. Machine washable and retains shape after repeated use. Sold as a pair. Available in Small through XX-Large, color-coded by size.
Wound care nurses and clinicians who manage patients at risk for heel and elbow pressure injuries in hospital, long-term care, and home health settings will find the Heelbo protector's sewn-in foam pad and viscoelastic gel insert appropriate for reducing shear, friction, and pressure at bony prominences during periods of bed rest or limited mobility. Occupational therapists and physical therapists who recommend heel and elbow protection for patients with limited mobility, fragile skin, or pressure injury risk will find the Heelbo's flexible stretch weave, contoured foam pad, and machine washability practical for patient comfort and caregiver ease of use. Long-term care facilities and skilled nursing facilities that use heel and elbow protectors as part of their pressure injury prevention protocols will find the color-coded sizing system and machine washable construction practical for multi-patient clinical inventory management. Home health aides and caregivers who assist patients with limited mobility at home and need a comfortable, easy-to-apply heel and elbow protection solution will find the Heelbo's slip-on design and flexible stretch weave appropriate for daily home use.
How do I choose the correct size?
Measure the circumference of the heel or elbow you want to protect and select the size that accommodates that measurement. Each size is color-coded for easy identification. If you are between sizes, sizing up is generally recommended for comfort.
Are these sold individually or as a pair?
Heelbo protectors are sold as a pair. One order provides two protectors for use on both heels or both elbows.
Can these be machine washed?
Yes. Heelbo protectors are machine washable and retain their shape after repeated washing. Follow standard laundering protocols for patient-use protective garments.
What is the viscoelastic gel insert?
The Heelbo Premium gel insert uses a viscoelastic polymer pad that conforms to the shape of the heel or elbow and redistributes pressure, reducing peak pressure by up to 38 percent compared to no protection. This helps reduce the risk of pressure injury at bony prominences during extended periods of rest or immobility.
