Description

Bed sores on the heels and ankles can be painful, debilitating, and difficult to heal. Left untreated, they can lead to hospitalisation. GlideWear Heel & Ankle Protection Socks are designed for people in long-term care, hospice, or on bed rest — as well as people who use wheelchairs. GlideWear Heel & Ankle Protection Socks use patented technology to protect skin and reduce the friction and shear that cause bed sores (also called “pressure sores” or “pressure ulcers”). Unlike foam or blow-up booties, GlideWear socks stay in place. They can be worn alone or over or under thicker socks for warmth.

Available in black or white in S, M or L.

 Sizing


GlideWear Heel & Ankle Protection Socks are ideal for:

  • People with lower extremity neuropathy (common with diabetes) who are at-risk for skin breakdown on the heels and ankles
  • Wheelchair users who have redness, pain, or bedsores on their heels or ankles.
  • Seniors with limited mobility who spend much of the day in bed, sitting, or in a wheelchair.
  • People recovering from surgery who are temporarily bed-bound.
  • People who use orthotics, walking boots (cast boots), or orthopaedic footwear.
 

Directions

Wear daily to prevent and relieve skin breakdown around the heel and ankle. Machine or hand wash and dry after each use. Contact your healthcare provider if you have any questions about the use of this product.
