Product Information

DermaSaver Shin and Knee Protector has been designed to loosely cover and protect the skin on the shin, calf and knee, allowing ample access to air flow. DermaSaver Shin and Knee Protector is especially helpful to people confined to wheelchairs as it protects the entire exposed area of the knee and the shin without preventing ventilation and the beneficial air flow reaching the skin. More about DermaSaver Shin Protectors MicroSpring textile fibre composition is 86% polyester and 14% spandex. There is no latex component in the MicroSpring fabric. DermaSavers are compatible with medicated ointments, creams or lotions. Simply spread the preparation on the skin as needed, allow a short time for absorption to take place and then dress the leg with the DermaSaver by pulling the tube over the leg like a sleeve. DermaSaver Shin Protectors are sleeve-like loose tubes worn on lower leg over the shin and calf. They are soft and comfortable to wear day and night. As mentioned above, excessive use of knee pads may interfere with blood circulation and/or cause atrophy of knee muscles. So knee pad use should be restricted to those occasions when there is a risk of trauma to the knees or when the body weight will be borne by the knees for a long period.

The study reported a 56% reduction in the rate of knee injuries as a result of the use of a knee pad. Among other benefits, the study concluded that knee pads were effective in reducing the risk of major injuries in the event of a fall. Choosing The Right Knee Pad

Choosing The Right Knee Pad

The Kneeling Pad uses soft, waterproof materials to ensure long-lasting use and protection. The pad is also completely sealed and welded, making it easy to wipe down. Therefore, there’s no need to send the Kneeling Pad to the laundry or worry about cross-infection. We manufacture the Kneela in our Shropshire premises, where we ensure attention to detail in all manufacturing processes and ship throughout the UK.

The Total Comfort Knee Pads are unique knee pads made of advanced memory foam that provides users who have arthritis with superior comfort and protection. The patent pending Progressive Resistance Padding, which features a dual density foam core, allows the knee to gradually sink into the padding. However, the 95% confidence interval for this ratio had a range of 0.7 to 7.2. Since the lower end of this interval was below 1, the increase in the risk of injury could not be regarded as statistically significant. 2019 Nature Study Please note: Selected models and sizes of the DermaSavers are available from the NHS Supply Chain in England and Wales and the NHS National Services Scotland in Scotland.

Used by

DermaSavers are made from breathable medical MicroSpring textile that replaces foam, gel and fleece. MicroSpring textile is cosy to touch, self-supporting, stretchy and naturally springy with thousands of microfilaments between 2 outer layers of soft breathable fabric per each square cm. The air is captured between the fabric layers and flows easily around the microfilaments, reaching the skin through the breathable fabric for constant soothing air ventilation.

Another good option for knee support is a knee strap, a patella brace (a smaller product that only wraps around the leg below your kneecap), or a pain relief patch. You can also opt for ace wraps or elastic tubular bandages. Most knee sleeves are washable, which Minnis says is important because they are worn mostly during exercise and activity. Can a knee sleeve give me enough support after a serious knee injury? This comfortable Kneeling Pad provides a cushioning for caregivers who spend a long time kneeling to support patients. You can use the pad on any ground surface, inside or out, as a clean and comfortable base to protect and insulate your knees while working. Whether you work at ground level in a medical setting or outside cars to help patients out of vehicles, this pad will make your life easier.Many situations and/or sports that require the use of knee pads also call for wearing elbow pads as a similar form of protection for the elbows. How Do Knee Pads Work?

Another risk of excessive knee pad wear is that of a decrease in knee strength due to atrophy of knee muscles. This weakening can itself increase the risk of injuries such as knee sprains or strains. Should Knee Pads Be Worn To Bed? The New England Journal of Medicine reported there was an increase in the risk of knee injury among those not wearing knee pads. The crude odds ratio for those wearing these pads compared to those who were not was 2.2. This meant that a crude estimate of the ratio of the probability of injury among those not wearing knee pads compared to those who were wearing them was 2.2. In 1996, the New England Journal of Medicine published the results of a study that included the results of an investigation into the effectiveness of knee pads when used for injury protection by inline skaters. The study covered the period December 1992 to July 1993 and included data reported by 91 hospital emergency departments on skaters seeking medical attention during this period.People who spend extensive periods with their knees on the ground bearing body weight can increase their exposure to injuries like knee bursitis if they do not use knee pads. They are also at risk of serious long term medical conditions such as knee osteoarthritis that may eventually lead to the need for knee replacement. By reducing the risk of undergoing major expensive and disruptive surgery like a knee replacement, knee pads can prove to be an extremely cost effective investment in knee health. Knee sleeves are ideal for someone who has a minor knee injury or mild pain with activity and is looking for increased support of the joint without the bulkiness and limited mobility found with traditional knee braces,” he says. Pricing guide A knee brace is a more supportive alternative to a knee sleeve. Taping, which involves wrapping the knee in special tape to limit unwanted movement and support the joint, is another alternative, Minnis says.
