Product Features
- Made with impact-resistant yarns spun from Kevlar® by DuPont and elasticated nylon, ensuring both a cushioning effect whilst maintaining cut, tear and abrasion resistance and elasticity to fit a wide range of leg diameters without applying excess pressure.
- Registered with the MHRA as a CE marked Class 1 Medical Device, clinically evaluated and proven to work as intended.
- DERMATUff© Leg protectors are non-restrictive designed with a soft band and no compression as required by patients with Oedema, Lymphoedema or Vascular problems.
- Footless leg protection is also available with DERMATUff sleeves, a popular alternative. Click here for further information and sizing.
- An independent study showed a 97% reduction rate in the level of expected skin tears and bruises when DERMATUff© leg protectors were worn.
- Machine wash between each use at temperatures below 180 degrees to ensure the socks maintain their efficiency.
Size selection
We have three sizes available small, medium and large, in two colours. Select your sock size based on your standard shoe size.
If you are unsure of your size, measure the circumference in centimetres of your leg just above your ankle bone; if this suggests a different sock size based on our chart below, consider a larger or smaller size.
