Proactive Medical Heel-Gel Elevation Boot - Medium

Heel-Gel Elevation Boot - Medium

The Heel-Gel elevation boot is a medium boot that suspends the heel over an air cavity to help eliminate pressure and friction on the heel and surrounding areas. It fits care settings where pressure relief, airflow, and reduced skin shear matter, and it gives caregivers flexible strap placement for a more secure fit when needed. A water-based gel insert adds pressure relief below the ankle and can be used for hot or cold therapy.
