Quantity:

One Pair (2 pieces) (It is recommended to purchase two for best application)

Important:

Tubifast gloves do look quite tiny at first, but they stretch quite a lot to fit up to a small size adult hand.

Hands up who wants relief from hand eczema?

The misery of hand eczema affects up to 5% of adults, and while cases vary in severity, this common condition can be very disabling. Visible skin disease can cause anxiety and low self-esteem, affecting an individual’s ability to socialise, do their job and interact with others. No busy, active person can be told not to use their hands, and yet, the first-line therapy for atopic eczema is to apply a moisturising emollient.
Tubifast Gloves are ideal as a dermatological covering or for wet or dry wrapping, allowing patients to keep a greasier, more effective emollient in contact with the skin for longer – giving the skin a chance to heal. The gloves are seamless and provide freedom of movement so patients can get on with their lives even during the worst flare-ups.

Gloves features

– Allow full freedom of movement of fingers and thumbs, therefore can be worn throughout the day and night without interfering with normal day-to-day activities
– Provide full coverage of the wrists, a common location of eczematous skin
– Help keep the emollient in close contact with the skin for longer
– Shield inflamed hands from view and protect bedding and clothing from a greasier emollient
– Act as a physical barrier, helping to protect the hands against the damaging effect scratching has on the skin

Fibre content:

VISCOSE, NYLON and ELASTANE

Designed to cover and protect, Tubifast Gloves can be worn in three ways:
1) Use one pair alone as a dermatological covering. The gloves will protect bedding and clothing from dermatological preparations.
2) Dry wrapping: apply one pair of gloves directly over a liberal layer of emollient (such as Epaderm OR Chubby Bee balms which is designed for use in dry wrapping).
3) Wet wrapping: use two pairs of gloves in the wet wrapping technique.

How to use:

Apply a liberal layer of emollient to the hands (such as Epaderm which is designed for use in wet wrapping), followed by a warm damp pair of gloves and then a dry pair on top.
