Glide Gloves (set of 2)

Glide Gloves (set of 2)

Fico glide gloves are made from the same high-quality, ultra-smooth sliding fabric as our tunnel slide sheets. These gloves are designed to move or reposition patients safely, smoothly and silently — with minimal friction and maximum control.

Each set includes two gloves (left and right hand) that the caregiver slips over the hands. Thanks to the low-friction surface, the hands slide more easily under or alongside the patient’s body. This makes lateral transfers, turning in bed or moving to a stretcher significantly easier and more ergonomic.

When to use glide gloves

• For turning or repositioning in bed or wheelchair
• For transfers to a stretcher, wheelchair or shower trolley
• For clients with (early signs of) pressure ulcers or pressure-sensitive areas
• For clients with limited mobility, spasticity or pain sensitivity during movement
• When frequent repositioning is required to prevent skin damage, pressure injuries or caregiver strain

Benefits of glide gloves

• Reduce physical strain for caregivers — much less force required
• Minimise skin friction and shearing, preventing irritation or injuries
• Facilitate transfers and repositioning, even for dependent or heavier clients
• Quick and easy to use — small investment, big impact
• Compatible with other sliding and positioning aids (slide sheets, mats, etc.)
