Care should be taken to protect frail skin by wearing Impactwear®
Limb Protectors
The skin of older people can become thin and frail
with age. It can be easily bruised or torn by minor accidents around
the home or while working outdoors. These injuries often take considerable
time to heal and require frequent dressing.
Impactwear® Limb Protectors are protective garments for the
arms and legs made of a skin tone coloured Lycra fabric with soft
flexible padding concealed on the inside for comfort and protection.
They are light and comfortable to wear and can be worn uncovered
by clothing or under clothing without a bulky appearance. The back
seam is reversed stitched so it does not aggravate sensitive skin.
They are easy to pull on and come in sizes to suit both arms and
legs.
To determine your correct size measure the circumference of your
forearm or calf at the widest part.
