Gelbo Heel or Elbow Protector with X-Static

An effective, low-cost method of providing additional protection needed for high-risk heels and elbows. Gelbo’s patented mineral oil-based gel formula softens and moisturises dry, cracked skin, reducing the pressure, friction and shear forces that can cause bedsores or heel/elbow pain. Now available with an X-Static® silver-fibre cover – the first line of defence against decubitus ulcers. The anti-microbial silver fibre inhibits the growth of bacteria in the product, neutralises odour, promotes healing and provides relief from skin irritation while limiting re-infection. Silver has long been recognised for its therapeutic qualities. Directions Place the gel pad over the irritated area and smooth the sleeve into place. Do not wear with shoes. Remove uncovered product daily for at least 6 hours; X-Static product may be worn continuously.
