Pressure redistribution at the footboard
Repose Sole Protector is fitted to a bed’s footboard to provide an air support surface where the soles of the feet may contact it. It is secured to the footboard using its vertical and horizontal straps.
Choosing and fitting your support
Position at the foot end and secure the vertical straps around the footboard first, followed by the horizontal straps, using the supplied buckles. Check that it does not interfere with the bed or other equipment. This is a footboard support, not a wearable boot or a heel-offloading device.

Manufacturer demonstration for the Sole Protector family. Follow the current Instructions for Use. The model and optional items shown may differ from your selection; the included items listed on this page define your supply.
Daily checks and cleaning
Check inflation with the manufacturer’s daily squeeze check and inspect positioning and skin regularly. Reconnect the correct pump and top up within a maximum of 14 days; the daily check still applies between top-ups. Always inflate and top up with the person off the product.
Clean visible contamination with detergent, water and a non-abrasive cloth. In the absence of visible contamination, follow the manufacturer’s weekly cleaning guidance and local infection-control policy. Dry thoroughly. Do not machine wash, immerse or sterilise the inflatable support, and keep liquid out of the valve. Removable PU covers have separate washing instructions.
Clinical use and precautions
Keep the valve away from skin and avoid direct contact with open wounds or compromised skin. Seek clinical advice immediately if skin condition changes. Keep away from heat and sharp objects. The valve contains a metal spring: do not use near MRI equipment. Read the complete IFU before use.
Use as part of an assessed pressure-care plan, alongside appropriate skin checks, repositioning and other care. The support does not replace those measures.
Clinical information
These references provide clinical background for the wider Repose range. They are not trials of this Sole Protector, which is a footboard support rather than a wearable Foot Protector or heel-offloading device.
Clinical assessment, skin inspection, repositioning and the wider care plan remain essential. Use the current product instructions for indications, precautions and maintenance; older study protocols are not instructions for present-day use.
