A Soft Heel Boot That Lifts the Heel Off the Mattress
The Skil-Care Super Soft HeelCheck Boot is a plush, open-heel boot for people who spend long periods in bed. The heel rests over an open cavity in the boot, so it is lifted off the mattress instead of pressing against it, while the foot is held upright with the toes pointing up. A soft fabric interior is designed to reduce friction against the skin.
Adjustable hook-and-loop straps fit almost any foot size. A removable anti-rotation wedge can be placed on either side to help keep the foot and leg from rolling outward, a tubing port on either side accommodates compression device tubing, and an open gate lets caregivers check the foot without removing the boot. The blue boot is reusable, wipe-clean and machine washable, and is sold individually.

Product Specialist Insight: The key to any heel boot is that the heel truly floats. After putting the boot on, slide a hand under the heel opening to confirm the heel is not touching the bed. Fasten the straps snugly but never tight enough to restrict circulation or cause discomfort, and use the printed icon on the top strap to orient the boot correctly. The boot is for use in bed only, not for walking or standing. Because it is sold individually, order two if both feet need a boot. A nurse or other healthcare professional should check the foot and heel regularly while the boot is in use.
