The core of Prevalon's approach is offloading rather than padding. The Prevalon Heel Protector Boot (7300) and the Prevalon Heel Protector I (7305) suspend the heel completely, transferring pressure to the calf while a soft Dermasuede fabric interior reduces friction and shear. Both are open-toe and secure with hook-and-loop straps, and the 7305 fits a broad 10-to-18-inch leg circumference, making it a practical single-SKU choice for mixed patient populations. For smaller patients, the Petite Heel Protector Boot (7310) gives a proper fit that a standard boot can't.

Where foot drop or leg rotation is also a concern, the boot-with-wedge configurations (7355 and 7382) add positioning support, and the standalone Foot/Leg Stabilizer Wedge (7350) pairs with the 7300 and 7302 boots to hold the leg in neutral alignment.

Pressure injury risk isn't limited to the feet. The Prevalon Microclimate Body Pad (7250), at 50 x 36 inches, wicks heat and moisture away from the skin across the sacral and trunk area—addressing the microclimate factors that accelerate breakdown under an immobile patient. For heavier patients and staff safety, the Prevalon TAP 1.0 Bariatric Repositioning System (7205) makes turning and boosting safer for both the resident and the care team.

Selecting the right products usually starts with a Braden or facility risk assessment: identify which patients need heel offloading, whether positioning support is required, and where moisture management matters most.
