- COMFORT AND QUALITY. Silk-like, breathable fabric prevents moisture and heat buildup against the skin. Patented technology reduces friction and protects skin. Made with pride in the USA from 85% Nylon / 15% Spandex (latex-free). Use alone or with an additional sock, as desired, for warmth.
- DESIGNED WITH YOU IN MIND. Designed for wheelchair users, people with spinal cord injury, people recovering from surgery, people in rehab, bed-bound seniors, and use with orthotic braces. Anyone who has redness or pain in the heel or ankle area can benefit.
- STAY IN PLACE. CAREGIVER APPROVED. Won’t slip down or move around while you’re wearing them. Easily put them on and take them off as you would any sock. Designed so that users, caregivers, and healthcare providers can easily get them on and off.
Finally, a Solution That Works
Do you or a loved one suffer from pressure sores on your heels or ankles? Then you know they’re painful, debilitating, and difficult to heal. Left untreated, bedsores can lead to months of bed rest and even hospitalization.
The Ultimate Solution
GlideWear Heel & Ankle Protectors use a patented technology to protect skin and reduce the friction and shear that causes pressure ulcers (also called bed sores). Unlike foam or blow-up booties, GlideWear Heel & Ankle Protectors stay in place. They can be worn alone or over or under thicker socks for warmth.
GlideWear Heel & Ankle Protectors are ideal for:
+ Elderly people with limited mobility who spend much of the day in bed, sitting, or in a wheelchair
+ Wheelchair users who have redness, pain, or bedsores on their heels or ankles
+ People recovering from surgery who are temporarily bed-bound
+ People who use orthotics, walking boots (cast boots), or orthopedic footwear
Say Goodbye to Pressure Ulcers
When you buy GlideWear Heel & Ankle Protectors, you’re not just buying a pair of socks. You’re buying a medical tool that can protect at-risk skin from the friction and shear that can cause pressure ulcers. Remember, if you get one pressure sore, you’re at a higher risk for getting another one in the future.
