EHOB launches heel protector

EHOB Inc. has released a heel protector that can prevent lower extremity pressure ulcers.

The TruVue™ Heel Protector is constructed with an anti-shear pad, the company said. The Achilles pillow is positioned under the Achilles tendon to provide heel elevation and to cushion the tendon from pressure locations.

The protector securely holds the leg and foot in place while allowing for full range of motion. Caregivers can use it to pull the foot back to a neutral 90-degree orientation.

The product is for single-patient use and is available in sizes petite, standard and extra-large.
