Description
WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?
The Convoluted Foam Heel & Elbow Pads – Covered – Large are foam “bootie” style supports with a slippery outer cover. The heel and ankle are both protected by the soft, eggshell-shaped foam.
The slippery cover is beneficial as it allows the foot to move freely on the bed. Without the slippery cover, the foam may catch on bed clothes and ride up the leg, or come off the foot.
