Cloth Heel Protectors are padded, boot-style cushions worn over the heels to protect them from pressure and friction-related skin breakdown in patients with limited mobility. Heel pressure injuries are among the most common and serious pressure ulcers in bedbound patients, and heel protection is a standard component of pressure injury prevention protocols.

Cloth heel protectors are breathable, washable, and provide a soft cushioning layer between the heel and any hard surface. They are used in conjunction with alternating pressure mattresses and other positioning strategies. OxyCare supplies heel protectors in multiple styles as part of a complete pressure management product range.
