Fall Prevention Socks- Pack of 3

Public Health England statistics show that around a third of people aged 65 and over fall at least once a year. Falls are the most commonly reported incident within the HSE and HSE-funded services with 28,714 falls being reported in 2016, including 11,876 in acute hospitals and 15,890 in residential units. Falls have an impact on the service user, on the health and social care professional, and on the service provider.

Non-slip 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 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.
