Does anyone know where I could get hold of vinyl (or similar material) inflatable 'boots' which help to keep heels free of pressure when lying in bed? My son used them in hospital and I would like to get hold of some for home but a Google search has failed to come up with anything. I'm in the UK.
Thanks,August.

Thanks,August.
Why not contact the hospital he was in and ask what they were called and where they got them?

That is a good suggestion and I will try them if I don't find a quicker alternative!

Ok, I can now answer my own question. The lovely people at SIA tracked down what I wanted. They are Repose Boots from Nottingham Rehab Supplies and are what were used at Salisbury spinal rehab.
