Fleece Heel Protectors
Product Details
The Fleece Heel Protectors are designed to provide gentle support and protection for the heels, particularly for people who are bed-bound or have limited mobility. The heel area is one of the most vulnerable parts of the body when it comes to pressure injuries, and these protectors help reduce that risk by combining comfort with practical design.
Supplied as a pair, each protector is lined with a deep-pile lambswool that cushions the heel and helps distribute pressure more evenly. The natural properties of wool make it especially effective for this kind of care. It allows air to circulate, absorbs excess moisture, and helps maintain a dry, comfortable environment around the skin. This can be especially important for those spending long periods in bed or seated, where moisture and friction can quickly cause irritation.
The wool’s resilience also means the protectors hold their shape well over time, offering consistent comfort and protection with everyday use. They are soft against the skin, easy to fit, and designed to stay securely in place without feeling restrictive.
Overall, these Fleece Heel Protectors offer a simple and natural way to help prevent pressure injuries while keeping the heels comfortable and supported. They combine the clinical benefits of pressure relief with the softness and warmth of high-quality wool, making them a thoughtful addition to any pressure care routine.

Very pleased with these heel protectors
Review by A Field Posted on 30/05/2014 08:31:42I am very pleased with the wool heel protectors. The wool pile of the heel protectors is soft and comfortable to wear. Over the last few weeks they have satisfactorily reduced the soreness in my heels and ankles and have provided extra warmth to my usually cold feet.
