ABSTRACT:
A pneumatic therapeutic heel and ankle guard is provided. The heel and ankle guard is comprised of an elongated inflatable base member. An inflatable elongated "U"-shaped tube comprised of two elongated leg members and a "U"-shaped member connects one end of each member. The leg members are mounted in spaced apart relationship to the top surface of the base member. The "U"-shaped member extends beyond the front of the base member. A patient's leg is rested on the base member surrounded by the "U"-shaped tube. The sole of the foot may rest upon the "U"-shaped member connecting each of the leg members. The leg protector prevents heel and ankle contact pressure allowing for the quick healing of heel sores, known more specifically as decubitus ulcers.
