Forearm Tube

Short Description
A range of pull on, tubular sleeves designed to protect arms and legs from knocks for frail skin prone to bruising, tears and abrasions. Can also assist in reducing pressure and shear forces. A range of sizes and models are available.

Price Guide
Refer to supplier information for pricing details.

More Details
The sleeves are made from two layers of breathable, anti-microbial, soft, lightweight, multi-stretch microspring fabric, which forms a loose fitting tube that stays in place to protect fragile skin from pressure, friction and minor trauma. The layers of microfilaments in the material allow air flow and moisture transfer.

The material is made from 92% polyester and 8% spandex.

The narrower end of the tube can rest on the ankle or wrist to keep the tubes from sliding off.

A range of models are available for the forearm, elbow, arm, leg, shin, and knee areas. All models are available in extra small, small, medium, large and extra large sizes.

Available in a light pink/beige colour only.
