E-Z Flex Heel Protectors

Patients confined to bed or a wheelchair face constant pressure on the heel — one of the most vulnerable spots on the body for pressure injuries, and one of the hardest to offload. The E-Z Flex collection centers on the Molnlycke Z-Flex fluidized heel protector system, engineered to redistribute pressure away from the heel and keep the vulnerable tissue floating free.

What sets the Z-Flex boots apart is the fluidized bead technology inside. The filling shifts and molds to the shape of the foot and leg, spreading load across a broad surface rather than concentrating it on the calcaneus. Caregivers can reposition the fill by hand to build a supportive bridge that suspends the heel entirely — the single most effective way to prevent and manage heel ulcers.

The collection includes the Z-Flex Fluidized Heel Protector (1400123) with hook-and-loop strap fastening and the Z-Flex Heel Protector Boot (1400122). Both come in a standard size with an open-toe design that lets clinicians inspect the toes and skin without removing the boot, and elastic straps that secure the fit without cutting into fragile skin.
