Indications: Patients with fragile skin; to protect IV /wound sites and skin from tears
and abrasions.
Posey Gel Pad SkinSleeves protectors are versatile, non-compression
knitted skin coverings suitable for a variety of applications. They
help provide a protective covering against tears and abrasions for
thin, fragile skin tissue. The soft cotton/nylon/spandex 4-way
stretch yarn is latex free and adapts to a wide variety of
individuals.
Gel Pad SkinSleeves protector can also help prevent patient
disruption of medical treatments by camouflaging both IV
sites and wound sites by blending in with the patient’s
own skin tone. The Gel Pads
are placed strategically
under the elbow to help
absorb pressure. Feature
color-coded sizing bands.
Published nursing protocols on skin tear prevention recommend that
your patients “add a layer of protection.”*
