Washable Slippy Sleeves Slide Sheet Gloves (22cm x 55cm)

Made from nylon with a silicone coating, the Washable Slippy Sleeves Slide Sheet Gloves (22cm x 55cm) can be placed over a patient's hands or underneath other parts of the body to make them slide more easily over bedsheets and other materials. By preventing the patient's feet or fingers from getting caught, they can make it easier for carers to adjust patients in bed, or to slide their arm through a sling.
