Slipper Socks

The NHS tells us that 1 in 3 adults over 65, and half of people over 80 will have at least one fall a year. Falls as we age do not need to be inevitable, there are interventions to reduce the risk of falls in the elderly.

Non-slip slipper socks are used in hospitals and clinics to help prevent these unnecessary accidental falls. Especially at risk are the elderly and infirm inpatients. Comfortable and easy to put on and take off, the non-slip socks are inexpensive and convenient for all healthcare providers and nursing homes.

The slipper socks feature silicon tread on either just the bottom of the foot, or on both the top of the foot and the sole of the foot. The socks with tread on both sides, called double tread, are designed to ensure that even if the sock slips around the foot, the patient is less likely to fall.

We also supply bright yellow falls prevention socks designed for inpatient wards. The striking yellow colour is given to a patients who are at risk of a fall. This allows medical professionals to quickly identify who may need extra mobility assistance and further support.

We supply a range of sizes to fit UK adult shoe sizes. Ranging from around UK adult size 3, to UK adult size 13. It is always recommended to size up from your regular size if you experience foot or ankle swelling. We also offer a bariatric option for severe swelling or larger size patients.

We advise that you check the Size Guide on the product Data Sheet to find out the specifications for each size available, before ordering.
