Description
The EHOB TruVue Heel Protector in extra large extends the same advanced offloading design to patients with calf circumferences from 18.5 to 25.5 inches. Larger legs are often the hardest to protect because standard boots run tight and shift out of place, and this size answers that problem directly. It is built for bariatric and larger-framed patients in hospital, long term care and home settings.
- Extra Large Fit – Sized for calf circumferences from 18.5 to 25.5 inches, so bigger legs get true offloading instead of a squeezed standard boot.
- Elongated Open Foot Gate – Covers the foot from heel to toe while leaving it open for skin checks, so assessments take seconds instead of a full removal.
- Anti-Foot Drop Straps – Straps hold the ankle in a neutral position to help prevent ankle contracture during long bed rest.
- Stability Rails – A secure base helps prevent hip and leg rotation, which keeps the leg aligned without constant repositioning.
TruVue Heel Protector with Extra Large Fit
This extra large heel protector suspends the heel inside an open gate design, so vulnerable skin never rests against the mattress even on larger legs. Flexible straps adjust for a customized fit, and the Achilles pad elevates the heel to help reduce the risk of pressure injuries. An anti-shear barrier pad protects against friction during movement, while tubing ports route SCD, ICD or NPWT lines away from the skin. For patients whose size has ruled out standard boots, it delivers the same advanced care protection in a fit that actually works.

Why Choose the Extra Large TruVue
Oversized patients are routinely under-protected because most heel boots stop at standard sizes. This extra large version keeps the full advanced care feature set in a circumference range that fits, so no patient is left on pillows and hope. Staff get the same open gate visibility and stable base as the standard boot.
- True Bariatric Range – A calf range up to 25.5 inches covers patients that standard boots cannot, closing a real gap in heel protection.
- Visible Offloading – The open gate design lets staff verify the heel is floating during every round, which builds confidence in the care plan.
- Contracture Awareness – Anti-foot drop straps hold a neutral ankle position that plain foam boots cannot maintain.
- Rotation Control – Stability rails address hip and leg rotation, a differentiator over basic heel pillows.

The extra large size fits calf circumferences from 18.5 to 25.5 inches. The standard size covers 13 to 18 inches and the petite covers 7 to 12.5 inches.

Yes. The elongated open foot gate gives heel-to-toe protection with direct access to the foot, so skin assessments do not require full removal.

The anti-foot drop straps hold the ankle in a neutral position, which helps prevent ankle contracture during extended bed rest.
Where do compression device tubes go?
Dedicated tubing ports route SCD, ICD or NPWT tubing conveniently, keeping lines off the skin and out of the offloading zone.
