The Medline Heel Raiser Pro Heel Protector distributes pressure evenly along the leg and calf to increase comfort, while the protective and raised design protects the heel and foot against pressure related injuries.

Please note that the Medline Heel Raiser Pro is supplied in a one size fits all fit. The adjustable straps allow for a catered but comfortable fit.
