Heel Protector Pads

Description

If you’re caring for someone with sore, pressure-sensitive feet or are recovering from surgery yourself, heel protection is essential. The Heel Protector Pads from Medpoint are designed to cushion the heel and ankle area, offering comfort and preventing pressure-related injuries such as bedsores and skin breakdown.

Made from breathable synthetic fabric and covered in soft blue polyamide velour, these pads offer a gentle, protective barrier that reduces friction and stress on vulnerable skin. The adjustable touch-fastening straps ensure a snug and secure fit, keeping the pad in place during bed rest or long periods of immobility.

These heel protectors are ideal for elderly patients, wheelchair users, or anyone on prolonged bed rest. They’re also easy to care for — simply wash them at temperatures up to 95°C for ongoing hygiene.

Whether used in hospitals, nursing homes, or at home, Heel Protector Pads offer reliable support, protection, and peace of mind for both patients and carers alike.
