Frequently Asked Questions

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.
