Gelbodies Heel and Ankle Protectors

The Gelbodies Heel and Ankle Protectors use a pressure relieving gel called "TRUGEL", which is found in high-end wheelchair cushions, to offer additional padding to points on the body where pressure sores tend to form.
The addition of padding to these areas improves circulation to those points by evenly distributing your body weight in those areas.
The gel will not bottom out. By improving circulation, the Gelbodies Heel and Ankle Protectors not only prevent pressure sores from forming, but also provide the patient with added overall comfort helping them to relax.
The gel is encased in a cotton-lycra "coolband" that stretches for an ideal fit and feels soft against the skin.
Gelbodies Heel and Ankle Protectors help protect the heel and ankle areas from pressure sores and nerve damage.
