SkinTubes look rigid but are in fact a soft, flexible, light weight fabric that springs back into shape.

SkinTubes™ Skin Pressure Relieving Skin Protection for Arms and Legs. Two layers of soft, lightweight MicroSpring Textile™ form a loose fitting tube that stays in place to protect fragile skin from pressure, friction and minor traumas that result in tears, bruising and minor abrasions. Unlike commercial sleeves and stockings, which are tight and binding, the layers of microfilaments allow air-flow and moisture transfer. Unlike foams gels and fleece, DermaSaver™ reduces ALL of the conditions that cause skin breakdown.Simply slip the tube over the arm or leg, there are no hook and loop fasteners or tight fitting spandex. The narrower end of the tube gently rests on the ankle or wrist to keep it from falling off. The cross microfilaments in the MicroSpring Textile allows these soft tubes to be self-supporting so they won’t slip down or bunch up.All base layers of the SkinTubes™ are protected by the Aegis Microbe shield which uses an EPA registered antimicrobial technology to inhibit the growth of micro-organisms on the product. All SkinTubes™ can also be completely washed and tumble dried up to 95OC (200OF).
