Proactive Medical Heel-Gel Elevation Boot - Small

Heel-Gel Elevation Boot - Small

The Heel-Gel elevation boot is a small heel protection boot that suspends the heel over an air cavity to eliminate pressure and friction on the heel and surrounding areas. It works well for care settings where buyers need pressure relief on the heel, support for prevention of pressure sores, and help with existing heel ulcers. A water-based gel insert adds pressure relief below the ankle and gives therapists a hot or cold therapy option.
