Frequently asked questions

How many pairs are included per case?

These heel and elbow protectors are sold in case quantities, with each case containing 12 pairs of protectors.

This bulk packaging is designed to efficiently supply healthcare environments like hospitals, nursing homes, and home care settings, ensuring continuous availability for pressure relief and patient skin protection.

How do these protectors prevent pressure ulcers?

These Alba X Span protectors are specifically engineered to eliminate the three primary causes of pressure ulcers: localized pressure, excessive heat, and moisture.

This comprehensive prevention is achieved through several key design features:

  • Superior Pressure Relief: They feature a patented four-piece foam cup and reinforced double foam layers. This design ensures robust cushioning and prevents the foam from “bottoming out,” maintaining consistent pressure mitigation.
  • Optimized Ventilation: The open knit construction of the soft, two-way stretch fabric promotes good ventilation. This actively eliminates heat buildup and reduces moisture retention, which is critical for skin health.
  • Adaptive, Safe Fit: The material is self-adjusting for a proper, non-constricting fit. It eliminates the need for stricture-causing straps, promoting comfort and maintaining unimpeded circulation.
  • Medication Compatibility: These protectors are safe for use even when applied over skin areas receiving topical medications.
Is the fit self-adjusting and comfortable?

Yes, these protectors are engineered for superior patient comfort and a secure, non-constricting fit, which is essential for pressure ulcer prevention.

Key features ensuring an adaptive fit and optimal comfort include:

  • Self-Adjusting Fit: Constructed with a soft, two-way stretch fabric that is self-adjusting, guaranteeing a proper fit without creating stricture points.
  • Enhanced Pressure Relief: Features a patented four-piece foam cup and double foam layers to prevent the material from “bottoming out” under pressure points.
  • Superior Ventilation: The open knit construction promotes good skin area ventilation, actively managing heat and moisture buildup.
  • Strap-Free Design: They are designed without stricture-causing straps, eliminating localized pressure and promoting circulation.
Does the open-knit design provide good ventilation?

Yes, the open-knit design of the Alba X Span Heel & Elbow Protectors is specifically engineered to promote ventilation. This feature helps to reduce heat and moisture build-up, contributing to enhanced skin integrity and overall comfort.

Can these protectors be used with medications?

Yes, the Alba X Span Heel & Elbow Protectors are designed to be fully compatible and effective when used in conjunction with medications, ensuring comprehensive care.

How do the protectors prevent pressure ulcers?

The Alba X Span Heel & Elbow Protectors are specifically engineered to eliminate the three primary causes of pressure ulcers: localized pressure, heat, and moisture.

They offer comprehensive prevention through the following design mechanisms:

  • Superior Pressure Relief: They feature a patented four-piece foam cup and reinforced double foam layers. This structure prevents the protector from “bottoming out” under pressure, ensuring consistent cushioning and effective pressure redistribution.
  • Maximum Ventilation: The open knit construction utilizes soft, breathable fabric that promotes good skin area ventilation, actively preventing the buildup of heat and moisture.
  • Non-Constricting Fit: Constructed with soft, two-way stretch fabric, the protectors are self-adjusting to ensure an optimal, non-constricting fit. This eliminates the need for stricture-causing straps, preventing the creation of new pressure points.

They are also safe and compatible for use when applied over areas receiving topical medications.

Are high-quality materials used?

Yes, these Alba X Span Protectors are constructed using specialized, high-quality materials and patented design features to ensure optimal pressure relief and skin integrity. They are specifically engineered to eliminate the three major causes of pressure ulcers: heat, moisture, and localized pressure.

Key features that highlight the quality and performance include:

  • Patented Foam Construction: They utilize a patented four-piece foam cup and double foam layers to distribute pressure effectively and prevent “bottoming out” under weight.
  • Exceptional Ventilation: The open knit construction uses a soft, two-way stretch fabric that actively promotes good skin ventilation, preventing heat and moisture buildup.
  • Safe, Adaptive Fit: The soft, self-adjusting material ensures a proper, non-constricting fit without the need for stricture-causing straps.
  • Medication Compatibility: The materials are safe to use when applied over skin areas receiving topical medications.
  • Origin: The protectors are manufactured in the USA.

  • Small/Medium
  • Large

These protectors are designed for an adaptive, comfortable fit. They feature a soft, two-way stretch fabric that is self-adjusting for proper placement and utilize no stricture-causing straps, helping to maintain excellent skin ventilation.

Does the patented foam cup ensure superior comfort?

Yes, the Alba X Span protectors are specifically engineered for superior comfort and effective pressure ulcer prevention.

The design features that contribute to this superior comfort and support include:

  • Patented Foam Cup: The internal cushioning utilizes a patented four-piece foam cup design.
  • Double Foam Layers: This construction reinforces the cup, preventing the protector from “bottoming out” under pressure points to ensure resilient and consistent support.
  • Adaptive Fit: The soft, two-way stretch fabric is self-adjusting, conforming properly to the limb without requiring stricture-causing straps.
  • Enhanced Ventilation: An open knit design actively promotes good skin area ventilation, eliminating heat and moisture buildup which are major causes of discomfort and pressure ulcers.
Do double foam layers enhance comfort?

Yes, the double foam layers in the Alba X Span Heel & Elbow Protectors are designed to enhance comfort and prevent “bottoming out.” This ensures consistent support and pressure relief, which is crucial for preventing pressure ulcers.
