Limbkeepers Heavyweight Protective Forearm Sleeves are non-compression, slightly thicker full terry knit arm sleeves for fragile skin. Designed with caregivers in mind, these soft, lightweight sleeves help protect delicate skin from everyday tears, abrasions, scratches, and bruising without the bulk or restriction of traditional protective clothing. The 10-inch length covers the wrist to upper forearm just below the elbow.
Originally developed by a New York apparel executive while caring for her mother during a nine-year journey with Alzheimer's, Limbkeepers sleeves were created to provide comfortable skin protection while allowing the wearer to maintain a sense of normalcy, dignity, and independence. The sleeves are made from a soft, breathable knit fabric featuring a unique blend of performance yarns, Lycra Spandex, nylon, and elastic. The cushioned, form-fitting design provides protective coverage without compression, making them comfortable for everyday wear. The construction looks and feels more like ordinary clothing rather than medical equipment. These protective forearm sleeves have a weight and texture most similar to an athletic sock, with full coverage terry knit on the inside of the sleeves. For caregivers, the easy-to-use design makes putting the sleeves on and taking them off simple. Rebound stretch helps the sleeves stay in place without adhesives, straps, or fasteners, while also helping them maintain their shape. The seamless construction provides additional comfort and helps reduce potential irritation.
The moisture-wicking fabric helps move moisture away from the skin, while its antimicrobial properties help curb odor-causing bacteria. These features make Limbkeepers a practical option for individuals who need ongoing forearm protection as part of their daily routine. Whether caring for an aging parent, a person with Alzheimer's or dementia, or someone with naturally fragile skin, Limbkeepers Heavyweight Protective Forearm Sleeves give caregivers an easy way to add a layer of comfortable protection while supporting dignity, mobility, and independence.
IMPORTANT NOTE: These sleeves should not be worn over open wounds. If you have diabetes or poor circulation, consult your physician before using this product. If discomfort occurs discontinue use.
