Heel Protectors and Foot Pillows
Heel protectors (foot pillows) are a simple option to help prevent pressure sores (bed sores) by alleviating any focused concentration of pressure on the heel. The foot, and especially the heel, are still indirectly in contact with the bed. However, the pressure is not as concentrated onto one area so blood flow to the general area is improved.
Foot elevators work in a similar fashion but, instead of dissipating the pressure over a wider area, pressure is eliminated from the foot and heel by suspending the foot in mid-air. Pressure will be transferred to another part of the body, usually the calf. While this rarely poses new issues, it should be monitored in case anything negative does occur.
