Frequently asked questions
Does the pad stay in place securely?
Yes. Each protector features a sewn-in, contoured foam pad specifically engineered to eliminate rolling and binding, ensuring it remains securely positioned during movement.
Can I use this on both elbows and heels?
Absolutely. The ambidextrous construction makes the protector fully compatible for use on either the right or left foot (heel) or elbow.
Is the material comfortable for long-term wear?
Yes, it is designed with a flexible stretch weave fabric. This breathable material conforms to your anatomy, maintaining its shape over time while allowing the skin to breathe.
How do I ensure this size fits correctly?
The 2X-Large size is designed to fit a circumference of up to 25 inches. The fabric is color-coded to assist with quick and accurate identification in both clinical and home settings.
Can these be washed and reused?
Yes, the fabric is machine washable. While it is durable enough to retain its shape through repeated use, it is generally recommended for single-patient use to maintain optimal hygiene standards.
What is the benefit of the contoured foam?
The integrated, contoured foam pad provides consistent pressure redistribution. Because it is sewn directly into the stretch-weave fabric, it prevents the padding from shifting, providing reliable protection for the heel or elbow.
Are these suitable for sensitive skin?
The breathable, flexible stretch weave is designed specifically to facilitate airflow to the skin, which helps minimize irritation compared to non-breathable protective materials.
Is the material bulky under clothing?
No. The protector is designed with a low-profile, flexible stretch weave that fits snugly against the skin, making it unobtrusive and suitable for regular use.
Is this a medical-grade product?
Yes, Mabis Healthcare is a professional-grade brand. The Heelbo protector is specifically designed for patients requiring skin protection and reliable pressure redistribution.
