It has a non-slip sole to provide grip when getting out of the chair or bed and has a ventilation area for maximum comfort.The slip-on bootee can also help stop wound dressings on the foot from being lost due to “rucking-up”.It is washable at 60°c on a synthetic cycle, so it can be reused again and again.There are a range of sizes available, please select a size based on the measurement from heel to big toe.Clinical studies have shown the effectiveness of Parafricta bootees.
