Elbow Protectors are padded, sleeve-style cushions worn over the elbows to prevent pressure injury development in patients who are bedridden, wheelchair-bound, or have limited upper extremity mobility. They cushion bony prominences against hard surfaces, reducing friction, shear, and direct pressure that can lead to skin breakdown over time.

Elbow protectors are easy to apply and can be worn during rest or activity. They are commonly used alongside heel protectors in comprehensive skin integrity programs. OxyCare supplies elbow and heel protectors as part of a full pressure management product range.
