Posey Heel/Elbow Protector with Pads - 1 Pair

🔷 Product Overview

The Posey Heel/Elbow Protector with Pads – 1 Pair is a soft, sleeve-style comfort protector designed to help reduce friction and shear on sensitive skin at the heels and elbows. Ideal for patients at risk of skin irritation or discomfort, these protectors feature a sock-like stretch design with sewn-in contoured foam pads positioned at the bony prominences for added cushioning against contact surfaces.

Made with a non-compression, expandable knit weave, the protectors help provide a comfortable fit while promoting air circulation. The flexible stretch yarn helps minimize rubbing and skin shear without applying tight compression, making them suitable for use in hospitals, long-term care, or home healthcare settings.

These protectors are latex-free and machine washable, offering a practical and reusable comfort solution for individuals needing gentle skin protection.
