Suitable Applications for Use
Fleeced Elbow Protectors for Pressure Reduction are designed to be used around the house when relaxing or resting. They are not designed for use when out and about or on-the-go.
What Is Pressure Relief?
Pressure relief is the cushioning and softening of a surface that frequently comes into contact with part of the body. For example, a pressure mattress is designed to cushion the back so that the downward force generated by the body is evenly distributed, preventing the build up of pressure in one specific area.
Why Is Relieving Pressure Important?
If you have been assessed as susceptible to pressure sores and ulcers, it's vital you work to relieve the amount of pressure placed on the affected area. If you don't, the tissue underneath can puncture, tear or even rupture, forming painful sores, ulcers and abscesses.
Why Protect Your Elbows?
Pressure ulcers and bed sores commonly affect the bonier areas of the body, including the elbows, heels, hips and tailbone. Protecting your elbows when you sleep is vital because you naturally can't control your movement.
How Do Fleeced Elbow Protectors Attach?
As demonstrated in the product image, Elbow Protectors attach via an adjustable strap for fitted yet comfortable wear.
