Skil-Care Heel & Elbow Protector Sleeve
Skil-Careâ„¢ Heel & Elbow Protector Sleeves
Contoured Polyfoam Pressure Pad, Seamless Stockinette Interior, Non-Binding Oversized Sleeve Fit, and Machine-Washable Design
Protecting vulnerable bony prominences—such as the heels, elbows, and knees—from friction, skin shear, and continuous resting pressure is a primary concern during extended bed rest or seated care. Straps and rigid fasteners can dig into sensitive skin, restrict circulation, or twist during limb movement. The Skil-Care™ Heel & Elbow Protector Sleeve provides a soft, non-binding protective solution engineered to cushion joints comfortably without constricting limbs.
Combining a contoured polyfoam pad with a soft, seamless stockinette sleeve, this protector holds the cushion securely over the joint. The seamless interior lining prevents friction against fragile dermal layers, reducing the risk of skin tears or pressure irritation. Designed with an oversized cut, the elasticized sleeve conforms gently to the arm or leg without binding. Fully machine washable and versatile enough to fit over existing medical bandages, these sleeves support everyday skin integrity in home care and clinical settings.
Key Performance Features & Benefits
- Contoured Polyfoam Cushioning: Anatomically shaped foam pad conforms smoothly over heels, elbows, or knees to absorb pressure and impacts.
- Seamless Interior Lining: Ultra-soft inner stockinette prevents seam lines from rubbing against fragile skin, minimizing shear and friction.
- Non-Binding Oversized Fit: Flexible stockinette sleeve holds the cushion in place securely without restricting circulation or binding limbs.
- Bandage Compatible: Oversized stretch profile allows the sleeve to fit comfortably over primary wound dressings and bandaging.
- Multi-Joint Versatility: Adaptable design functions effectively on elbows, heels, or knees, streamlining facility inventory.
- Machine Washable Care: Easily sanitized in standard washing machines to support clean, long-term hygiene rotations.
- 100% FSA / HSA Eligible: Qualified medical skin protection accessory eligible for pre-tax Flexible Spending Account and Health Savings Account reimbursement.
Skin Integrity Specialist Insight: The non-binding stockinette fit makes these sleeves an excellent choice for around-the-clock wear. Unlike strap-based protectors, there are no buckles or hook-and-loop fasteners to create pressure hotspots when a patient turns in bed. To keep your care routine seamless, we recommend keeping a second pair on hand so one pair can be worn while the other is in the wash.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the same sleeve be used interchangeably on heels, elbows, and knees?
A: Yes. The contoured polyfoam pad and stretch stockinette conform comfortably to any of these joints. Choose the size based on the circumference of the limb where it will be worn most often.
Q: How do I select the correct size?
A: The stockinette cut is forgiving and flexible. If you are between sizes or plan to wear the sleeve over existing bandages, selecting the larger size ensures a comfortable, non-binding fit.
Q: How should I launder these protector sleeves?
A: Machine wash the entire sleeve in warm water using standard mild detergent. Tumble dry on low or air dry to preserve foam cushion resilience and knit elasticity.
