Protect-A-Limb

Description

Protect-A-Limb is a non-compressive tubular sleeve worn on the arms or legs to minimise skin damage caused by minor impacts or friction. It is especially suitable for older people, those with thinning skin or those taking anticoagulant medications.

The fabric is a breathable blend of viscose, polyester and elastane, helping maintain skin temperature while allowing airflow. The stretch design ensures it stays in place without slipping or restricting circulation. Its seamless knit construction reduces the risk of shear and is gentle enough for extended wear in personal or clinical environments.

Protect-A-Limb is machine washable for ongoing use and is suitable for daily protection in aged care, rehabilitation or home settings.

Who it’s for

• For clients with fragile skin or on anticoagulant therapy, who are susceptible to bumps, scrapes and abrasions.
• For therapists supporting clients with skin integrity concerns or who are at risk of falls.
