A heel protector that protects against pressure ulcers and plantar flexion (foot drop). The open, floated heel design elevates the foot and separates the heel from the mattress. Adjustable stretch panels provide a secure comfortable fit and are tethered to the boot to make it easier to reapply. The outer surface is made from fluid resistant strong nylon. It is suitable for the right or left foot. Available in one universal size.

Cover
Prevalon's outer surface is constructed with strong, ripstop nylon, the same material used in parachutes and outdoor gear. This smooth outer covering repels liquids and makes Prevalon easy to wipe clean.
The easy to attach Foot and Leg Stabilizer Wedge helps prevent lateral foot and leg rotation.
