Heels, elbows and the backs of heads get forgotten in pressure care until they are the site of the wound. The main mattress or cushion does the heavy lifting, and these ancillary pieces protect the outposts.
The range includes ACTION heel protectors in the same polymer gel used in operating theatres, convoluted foam overlays from $169, and supporting pieces that round out a full pressure management setup.
A word from the clinical side: ancillary protection supplements a proper support surface, it does not replace one. If the person is high risk and the main surface is an ordinary mattress, start with the main pressure care range and add these second. Not sure what risk level you are dealing with?
