Product Description

Alerta Air Heel Bootees helps to minimise the risk of pressure injuries to the heel area which can be vulnerable. They are ideal for patients at risk of developing pressure ulcers in care homes, nursing homes and hospitals. Heels are especially vulnerable to pressure injuries due to the relatively small surface area, thinness of the underlying tissue, and the proximity of the heel bone to the skin surface.  See below for care instructions for the Alerta Air Heel Bootees.  Sold. in pairs
