Thin skin tends to be a prevalent issue as we age, and even a minor bump or fall can cause long-lasting and painful skin tears or bruises.

DERMATUff© Unisex leg protectors are designed with multiple purposes in mind, clinically proven to offer protection against skin tears, skin flaps and lacerations, providing similar impact resistance to body armour.

Please see below for product features, size information and delivery options.

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.

Thin Skin Protection Socks / Leg Protectors

£30.00

Price per pair.

The patented DERMATUff leg protectors offer protection against skin tears, skin flaps and lacerations. Thin skin tends to be a prevalent issue as we age and even a minor bump or fall can cause long-lasting and painful skin tears or bruises. If you prefer to wear footless protectors on your legs, you can wear the DERMATUff arm protectors (sleeves) on your legs instead. To view the size chart for wearing the sleeves on your legs instead of the socks, click here.

“Provides impact resistance in a similar manner to body armour”

You may be wondering how DERMATUff leg protectors are different to normal leg warmers or socks. Well, our thin skin leg protectors are made with impact resistant yarns spun from Kevlar® by DuPont along with elasticated nylon. This provides impact resistance in a similar manner to body armour. DERMATUff thin skin protectors are CE marked Class 1 Medical Devices. This means they have been clinically evaluated and proved to work as intended. An independent study showed a 97% reduction rate in the level of expected skin tears and bruises when DERMATUff leg protectors were worn.

Some people prefer to use the sleeves for leg protection rather than use the leg protectors. In this case you can wear the sleeves on your legs. Click here to view the separate size table and for more information about using sleeves as leg protectors.

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.
