DermaSavers - Protecting Fragile Skin from Damage
DermaSaver - a new innovative range of skin protection products from the manufacturers of the HipSaver soft hip protector.
DermaSavers are unique patent pending protectors for people with fragile skin. DermaSaver protectors protect fragile skin from damage caused by friction, rubbing, abrasion and pressure that could lead to skin breakdowns, tears and splits.
DermaSaver products are made from innovative breathable MicroSpring textile that replaces foam, gel and fleece.
MicroSpring textile is a very special fabric. It is soft and springy with thousands of microfilaments per square cm. It is breathable with ample ventilation reaching the skin due to free air flow within microfilaments. MicroSpring textile presents superior moisture wicking properties that enable speedy transfer of moisture away from the skin. It is soft and stretchy and will not flatten or crumble. It is washable at 950C (boiling wash) and can be tumble dried at high temperature.
The MicroSpring textile fibre composition is 94% polyester and 6% spandex.
DermaSaver Skin Protectors are garment like and can be worn at all time, as or when required. You can wear them in bed or in wheelchair and when walking. They are fully compatible with topical creams and ointments. And because they are breathable, allow air circulation and constant ventilation, they will protect the skin without the drawbacks of bandages or dressings. Moisture wicking properties of the fabric ensure that the skin remains dry and cool at all times.
DermaSavers are protected with Aegis Microbe Shield permanently bonded to the fibres. Aegis Microbial Shield prevents bacterial and microbial growth. It is a permanent protection that does not fade, wash out or leach and lasts permanently for the duration of the DermaSaver protector's life.
Wearing DermaSavers protects fragile skin from sustaining damage. DermaSavers can also help to heal existing skin tears, splits and lacerations without the restriction of bandages and dressings.
