Slippy Heel Protectors
Product Details
The Slippy Heel Protectors are designed to offer effective heel protection and enhanced comfort for bed-bound or semi-mobile individuals. Heels are one of the most at-risk areas for pressure injuries, and these protectors help to reduce that risk through a combination of thoughtful design and quality materials.
Unlike traditional heel protectors that can drag or catch against bedding, the Slippy Heel Protectors feature a smooth, low-friction outer shell. This allows the foot to glide easily over sheets, helping to reduce shear forces and the risk of skin damage. Inside, a deep-pile lambswool lining gently cushions the heel while managing moisture, creating a soft, dry, and comfortable environment for the skin.
The touch-and-close fastening makes them easy to fit securely, ensuring they stay comfortably in place without restricting movement. Designed for practicality and durability, the Slippy Heel Protectors are machine washable and tumble-dry safe, making them suitable for repeated clinical use. Each pair provides full coverage for both heels, and as a product manufactured by Thorpe Mill in the UK, they offer trusted quality and reliability.
