The Shinpads are particularly helpful for diabetic patients who may walk into chairs, beds, etc., causing ulcers that could take a very long time (possibly a year) to heal. They are made from foam with two layers over the shin bone, a soft interlock cover, and two special soft elastic velcro straps.
This product can also be used to protect arms. Another similar product is the
Wool Heel & Elbow Pads.
To Fit: Place the Shinpad around the patient’s lower leg with the special soft elastic Velcro strap located around the back of the ankle. Cut the Velcro to size if it is too long.
This product is to help with the prevention of pressure sores. Sometimes, due to the patient deteriorating, the product may become unsuitable. Continuous monitoring is necessary and alternative products may be recommended.
Washing: Hand or machine wash only, up to 80°C. Do not tumble dry or wring - air dry only.
