Silipos Heel Elbow Slip Over
Gel lined slip over sleeve designed to cushion and protect the heel or elbow from pressure, friction, and shear during daily activity.
Silipos Heel and Elbow Slip Over provides circumferential protection for areas exposed to sustained pressure, contact, or friction. It is commonly used by hand therapists and occupational therapists to support management of sensitive skin, scar tissue, bursitis prone areas, and pressure related discomfort at the elbow, as well as heel protection during gait and footwear use.
The sleeve features a soft mineral gel lining bonded to a stretch fabric exterior, allowing it to conform comfortably while distributing pressure across a broader surface area. It is designed to be worn directly over the heel or elbow and can be easily applied or removed by patients. Available in multiple sizes to accommodate different limb circumferences, the low profile design allows use under clothing, within footwear, or alongside orthoses without restricting movement. Suitable for repeated daily use in both clinical and home settings.
