Product Features

Please note that ‘Socks’ & ‘Leg Protectors’ are two terms used interchangeably for the same product.

• DERMATUff leg protectors are unisex
• The looping creates a cushioning and impact resistant effect and the purpose spun yarn further impact, cut, tear and abrasion resistance.
• The combination of the materials and construction work in a similar manner to body armour.
• The socks do not contain any ‘compression’ as required by patients with Oedema, Lymphoedema or Vascular problems.
• The elasticated nylon creates stretchiness so that the socks will fit a wide range of leg diameters within each size, without applying excess pressure.
• The top band is soft to reduce pressure and therefore is not restrictive.
• The socks are shaped in order to fit the leg as well as possible.
• The feet of the socks are made from ‘stretchy’ cotton and will fit any size of foot.
• Three different sizes are available; Small, Medium and Large.
• The socks are designed for multiple usages with washing between each usage.
• Above 180 washings the socks may begin to loose their efficacy. This would equate to one year’s use if just two pairs are used and washed after each day’s usage.
• CE marked and registered with the MHRA as a Medical Device Class I.
• If you prefer footless leg protectors, you may consider wearing the DERMATUff sleeves on your legs, click here for the size chart.

Size selection

• Select the obvious sock size based on your normal shoe size.
• Measure the circumference in centimetres of your leg just above your ankle bone.
• If this suggests a different sock size then consider a larger or smaller size.
• Consider whether your ankle and calf dimensions are of normal proportions to each other.
• If your calf size is wider than normal decide on a larger sock size.
• If your calf size is narrower than normal decide on a smaller sock size.
