ABSTRACT:
An inexpensive, air permeable body protector adapted to be positioned on an elbow or heel of a bedridden patient for protecting against the development of decubitus ulcers or the like. The protector includes a resilient pad of porous foam material, the pad having a generally circular outline and a concave inner surface which defines an elbow or heel receiving pocket. A separate porous tubular knit sleeve is also provided which is adapted to be drawn onto and over the limb of the wearer and over the pad so as to surround the pad when positioned on the elbow or heel of the wearer.
