EHOB Foot Waffle Heel Elevator – One Size Heel Offloading Pressure Relief Boot
Call 866-218-0902 to confirm if the EHOB Foot Waffle Heel Elevator is the right heel offloading solution before ordering.
The EHOB Foot Waffle Heel Elevator is a clinical heel protection and pressure relief boot designed to offload the heel by suspending it completely off the bed surface while supporting the calf and lower leg. This helps reduce direct heel pressure, improve circulation, and support both the prevention and treatment of heel pressure injuries and pressure ulcers.
Unlike standard heel protectors that only cushion the heel, the WAFFLE design creates true heel suspension using EHOB’s air-filled pressure redistribution system. The calf is cradled while the heel is floated, helping reduce skin breakdown risk for patients with limited mobility, post-surgical recovery needs, or long-term bedrest. Product sources confirm one-size design and heel suspension intended for prevention and treatment of heel pressure injuries.

Why Choose the EHOB Foot Waffle Heel Elevator?
Heel pressure injuries are one of the most common pressure ulcer locations in immobile patients. Traditional pillows often collapse, shift, or fail to maintain true heel suspension. The EHOB Heel Elevator is designed specifically to keep the heel floated while protecting the calf and Achilles area.
This product is commonly used for:
- Heel pressure ulcer prevention
- Existing heel wound protection
- Post-surgical heel offloading
- Long-term bedrest patients
- Skilled nursing and rehab care
- Diabetic heel pressure management
- Patients at high risk for skin breakdown
The ventilated air design and cotton lining help improve comfort while reducing moisture and skin friction during extended use.
Sizing Guide – One Size Universal Fit
This product is designed as a one size heel offloading boot. There are no Small, Medium, or Large options required for standard ordering.
It is intended to fit most adult patients who require heel suspension and calf support during bedrest or recovery. Product references list the EHOB Foot Waffle Heel Elevator as one size fits most.
How to Confirm Proper Fit
- Place the calf into the cradle section of the boot
- Confirm the heel is fully suspended and not touching the bed surface
- Check that the boot supports the lower leg without excessive pressure
- Ensure straps are secure but not restrictive
- Call before ordering if bariatric sizing or special positioning is needed
When Additional Review Is Needed
- Patients with severe leg edema
- Bariatric positioning concerns
- Advanced wound care cases
- Patients requiring anti-rotation wedge options
- Long-term facility protocol requirements
Fit warning: Proper heel suspension is critical. If the heel still contacts the bed surface, pressure relief is compromised. Call 866-218-0902 for product guidance before ordering.
