SLIDE GLOVE / MEDICAL GLOVE

Hospital Direct’s disposable Slippy Sleeves and Mitts offer the latest in slide glove innovation for effective patient repositioning.

This versatile slide glove solution allows caregivers to handle their clients gently, uphold patient dignity and prevent any discomfort. Practitioners find the medical gloves particularly useful when putting in slings and smoothing out creases in linen to prevent pressure sores to uphold patient comfort.

Whether carers are inserting slings, making positional adjustments or performing skin-smoothing treatments, these silicon-coated, nylon slippy sleeves and mitts will protect the patient’s skin. Caregivers can simply dispose of the slide glove after use to increase patient throughput and maintain good hygiene practices. Alternatively, we also stock washable Slippy Sleeves in two sizes.

We manufacture the medical gloves in our local Shropshire premises, where we adhere to the highest manufacturing standards and quality control processes.

For more information about the Slippy Sleeves and Mitts, please get in touch with our Technical Team. We will be delighted to help. We have supplied the NHS and other care establishments for nearly two decades and are experienced in matching medical products to all needs.
