Description
WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?
The Positioning Sleeves are slippery material gloves which can be used when the carer is required to place their hands on a patient.
The reasons for wearing the Sleeves may include:
- To help protect patient’s skin integrity
- To help slide under someone’s bottom when repositioning or testing cushions
- To help protect from infections
If the patient has soiled their bed or chair the carer can wear disposable gloves underneath to help protect themselves from infection, and then wear the Sleeves over the gloves.
They are made from a slippery, breathable material, which is used for Bed Slide Sheets. They are comfortable for the carer and will not feel sweaty.
WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR?
The Positioning Sleeves are suitable for carers or nurses who want to reduce the friction or shearing forces when providing care for people.
BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Put your hands in the sleeves and slide them up your arm.
WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT MADE FROM?
