The Sumed Yathan Second Skin Heel Protector Sleeve – Your Ultimate Solution for Heel Protection and Heel Pressure Relief
Are you or your loved ones experiencing discomfort or pressure-related issues in the heel area? Sumed Yathan Second Skin Heel Protector Sleeve is the ideal medical device designed for the protection of elderly or fragile atrophic skin, providing comfort and aiding in heel pressure ulcer prevention. Our heel sleeve is perfect for use in-home care, nursing homes, facilities, hospitals, and clinics.
Key Features and Benefits:
-
Effective Heel Protection:
Specifically crafted to protect the heel, our heel protector acts as a boot and therefore acts as a barrier against injuries, reducing shearing forces and significantly decreasing pressure on the foot.
-
Polymer Gel Construction:
Made from high-quality polymer gel, our heel sleeve is not only pleasant to wear but also washable, can be disinfected, and is reusable. It does not stick to the skin, ensuring a comfortable and hygienic experience.
-
Versatile Use:
Ideal for fixing non-adhesive wound dressings, the heel Protector sleeve offers all-round protection against skin degradation and pressure points. It is soft on the skin and easy to apply with minimal force, promoting air circulation and free range of movement.
-
Sizes Available:
Choose from two sizes – small (UK Shoe size 1-6) and medium (UK Shoe size 5-10) – to ensure a perfect fit for optimal results.
How Sumed Yathan Second Skin Heel Protector Sleeve Works:
- Correct Sizing: Ensure the heel sleeve is the right size for the foot. Position the filled-in squares on the underside of the heel and ankle for maximum cushioning.
- Proper Fit: The longer part of the heel protector sleeve should be fitted on the leg, with the shorter part around the foot. A loose fit on the foot yields the best results. Consider wearing a loose sock when walking or standing.
- Durability and Maintenance: The durability of the heel protector sleeve depends on usage. Remove it at least once a day for a minimum of 4 hours. Hand wash daily and machine wash weekly in a net bag with a maximum temperature of 60°C.
