TalarMade HeelPro Heel Protection Boot
The bonier parts of the body are more vulnerable to pressure ulceration, since they have significantly less cushioning. The right kind of heel relief is therefore essential in preventing existing ulcers. The TalarMade HeelPro Heel Protection Boot is the best way to protect the heel area, since it reduces shear, friction and generally allows for medical inspection, keeping you safe and healthy.

Washing Instructions
The HeelPro Heel Protection Boot can be hand-washed in lukewarm water, and then air dried. It can also be cleaned during use with a damp cloth or sponge, or a hospital-grade disinfectant wipe. Do not bleach, iron or tumble dry the boot.
