Product Details
The Prism Multigloves come as a pair that enables carers to facilitate a variety of moving and handling applications with ease due to its low friction design.
For example, when bringing a person into a sitting position on a profiling bed there is often some resistance around the shoulders, which can lead to the patient being uncomfortable. The Prism Multigloves are a great piece of equipment in this instance as they can be used to smooth and the release the tension on the skin. The anti-shear nature of the material helps to complete the task with minimal effort whilst maximising comfort for the patient. This is just one prime example of how the Prism Multigloves can be used.
Key User Benefits
- Skin smoothing on profiling beds / chairs: The carer places a glove on one arm and gently introduces the hand / arm between the client and the bed / chair. This releases tension points caused by sliding orwhen the profiling bed is adjusted.
- Clothing dressing aid: The gloves can be placed over the clients arms or feet to aid the insertion of limbs into clothing. Place the glove on the clients arm to aid insertion into a jacket sleeve. Once the arm is in the sleeve, simply pull the glove off.
- Medical dressing application: Place the glove over the clients foot so that it covers the calf. Roll the dressing over the foot (and glove) and into place. Gently pull the glove from the foot (care should be taken to avoid shearing the skin).
- Sling application: The gloves can be used make the fitting of slings easier - either when fitting down the back of a client or when bringing the legs through under the clients thighs.
- Small repositioning tasks: The gloves can be used to provide low friction surfaces when repositioning a client to relieve pressure areas.
