Product Information
The Slippy Sleeves are designed to support safer, smoother patient handling across a wide range of care environments, from hospitals and care homes to community and home care settings. By reducing friction and effort, they help protect both the patient’s skin integrity during everyday moving and handling tasks.
The silicone-coated nylon mitts fit comfortably over the patient’s hands, creating a low-friction surface that allows carers to carry out procedures with greater ease and control. This makes them ideal for tasks such as repositioning, inserting slings, and adjusting pillows or support aids.
Slippy Sleeves are particularly effective when working with clothing or bedding. Carers can quickly and efficiently smooth out creases or reposition fabric from beneath the patient without unnecessary lifting or pulling.
They are also designed with hygiene and durability in mind, being fully washable at temperatures between 30–80°C, making them suitable for repeated use in busy care settings.
