This category includes wearable protectors designed to cushion the elbow and/or ankle joints, reducing friction and impact from contact with surfaces or objects. They are made from soft, padded materials and secured with straps, covering only the joint area without extending to larger portions of the limb.
These devices are intended for individuals at risk of skin sores due to prolonged immobility, limited motor control, or frequent joint contact, such as bedridden patients. As reusable devices, they are meant for repeated use after cleaning and are not classified as single-use or medicated products.
