PrevHeel — Smart Protection for Delicate Heels

A simple solution to a serious problem: heel pressure ulcers. Designed for prevention in hospitals, ICUs, long-term care, and at home—especially for bedridden and diabetic patients at risk of diabetic foot complications and, in advanced cases, limb loss.

Why heel protection matters

Heel pressure ulcers (decubitus ulcers) develop quickly in immobile, post-surgical, diabetic, or elderly patients. They’re painful, costly, slow to heal, and can lead to serious infection and amputation if prevention is neglected. PrevHeel helps you stay ahead of the problem by offloading pressure, reducing shear, and supporting skin integrity from day one.

What is PrevHeel?

PrevHeel is an innovative heel-cushioning boot engineered to keep the heel floating—protected from pressure and friction—while maintaining comfort for extended wear in bed, a wheelchair, or when resting.
