The Washable Slippy Sleeves Slide Sheet Gloves (19cm x 50cm) can be placed over a patient's hands or underneath other parts of the body to improve the comfort and safety of repositioning procedures.

How Can These Gloves Aid Patient Care?
These gloves are made from nylon for comfort and have a silicone exterior for increased sliding power. By helping a patient's hands and feet slide more smoothly over their bedsheets and other materials, they can make it more comfortable for a patient to be repositioned in bed, or for a sling to be slipped onto their arm.
Where Can These Slippy Gloves Be Used?
Created to increase the safety and comfort of patients when they are being moved in bed, the slippy sleeve gloves can be used by single or multiple carers in a range of different care scenarios. Facilities and applications they are recommended for include:
- Community nursing
- Home care
- Paediatric care
- Physiotherapy
- Occupational therapy
- Hospices
- Palliative care
- Tissue viability
- Intensive care
Can I Wash the Slippy Sleeves Gloves?
These gloves can be regularly machine washed to maintain hygiene and to prevent the spread of infection between patients. As they can be safely placed in a machine cycle between 30 - 80°C in temperature, they can be cleaned as thoroughly as you require.
What Sizes Are Available?
The Slippy Sleeves Gloves are supplied in a universal size that should fit most patients up to their elbows. However there is a larger 22cm x 55cm version available if you would like more extensive coverage of body parts during manoeuvres.
