Sage Prevalon Heel Protector 1 ea

Very comfortable, and protects the ankle and foot well. I used it while recovering from an injury in which i sustained 6 fractures to my foot.

Because when you take off boot and stick to designated place that piece pulls up and sometimes not sure which is the correct piece to use. It also has come loose and curls

This item, the Prevalon Pressure Relief bootie, is quite effective for wear in bed to help healing of pressure ulcers (bedsores) on the heels, which are quite common in hospitals and especially in nursing homes. Bedsores on the heel will not heal, even with medication, if pressure is maintained on the heel, such as when wearing shoes or lying supine in bed. If you buy one of these it is best to get the model with the detachable gray "wedge." Some have complained the Velcro straps don't hold up.My father was given a pair of these for wear in a Cleveland Clinic hospital after he developed a heel ulcer while in a nursing home. Another option is what is commonly referred to as a "PRAFO boot" or its equivalent (see Prafo 650 Custom AFO). There are similar boots available from other manufacturers, and some are less complicated than the PRAFO, using Velcro closures, e.g. The PRAFO's and equivalents will probably last a lot longer than the Prevalon.Generally, boots of this type are not meant for walking. So for walking consider the Bauerfeind GloboPed Mobil Heel Relief Shoe, available from Amazon. My father used the "Bauerfeind GloboPed Mobil" for walking and found it helpful. See my review of that item.Note that the Prevalon bootie should not cost more than around ninety USD for one or a hundred eighty USD for two, e.g. when buying direct from Sage Products or online. Google for "Prevalon."

We purchased a pair of these for my dad, who is having issues with pressure ulcers. The boot does relieve the pressure on his heels. The boots are secured to the foot with three stretch nylon straps. These straps are not as durable as they should be. After fairly light use one is torn and the other 2 appear a bit on the ragged side. They will need to be replaced in the near future. I would not buy these again. There are other boots on the market that will fill the need and are far more durable.

Wonderful product.

Not so great, too cumbersome and heavy. Not worth the $$. I would look in the marketplace for a boot that was lighter and not as heavy and easier to apply.

I agree with the other reviewer the straps and velcro closures are horrible and don't hold up for daily use. When having to purchase 2 of these the cost outweighs the product quality. I shouldn't have to alter the product to be able to use it long term.
