Description
The EHOB TruVue Heel Protector with Wedge pairs the advanced care TruVue boot with its anti-rotation wedge for patients whose legs roll outward in bed. Rotation pulls the heel out of position and undoes careful offloading, and the wedge answers by holding the leg in alignment. It fits standard size calves and suits hospital, long term care and home care heel protection programs.
- Anti-Rotation Wedge Included – The matched wedge helps prevent hip and leg rotation, so the boot stays where the care plan put it.
- 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.
- Achilles Pad Offloading – The built-in pad elevates and offloads the heel to help reduce the risk of pressure injuries through the night.
- Anti-Foot Drop Straps – Straps hold the ankle in a neutral position to help prevent ankle contracture during long bed rest.
TruVue Heel Protector with Wedge with Anti-Rotation Wedge Included
This package combines the TruVue advanced care boot with the anti-rotation wedge EHOB designs for it, so heel suspension and leg alignment arrive together. The standard size fits calf circumferences from 13 to 18 inches, and the open gate keeps the heel visible for quick skin assessments. Stability rails in the boot base work with the wedge to resist rotation, while the anti-shear barrier pad protects against friction during movement. For patients who keep turning out of position, this pairing removes the nightly rebuild of pillow stacks.

Why Choose the Boot and Wedge Pairing
Buying the boot and wedge as one matched set removes the guesswork of mixing accessories from different lines. The wedge is shaped for this boot family, so alignment support and heel offloading work as one system. Staff set it once and check it quickly on every round.
- Matched System – The wedge is the exact anti-rotation accessory EHOB designs for this boot, a differentiator over improvised pillow supports.
- Visible Offloading – The open gate design lets staff verify the heel is floating during every round, which builds confidence in the care plan.
- Rotation Control – Wedge plus stability rails address hip and leg rotation from two directions at once.
- Faster Skin Checks – Open access to the foot shortens assessment time and reduces patient disturbance.
