Palm Protectors for Hand Contracture
Reducing pressure and skin damage in contracted hands.
What causes it
Hand contractures develop when muscles, tendons or joint tissue shorten, often after neurological injury, immobility or prolonged spasticity.
Common symptoms
- Fingers curled into the palm
- Difficulty cleaning the hand
- Pain on passive movement
Daily challenges
- Skin maceration in the palm
- Nail injuries
- Reduced hand hygiene
How palm protectors help
Palm protectors provide a soft barrier between the fingers and the palm, keeping skin dry and protected while supporting a comfortable, more open hand posture.
Skin protection & hand hygiene
A soft microbead cushion keeps fingernails away from the palm, redistributes pressure and — in models with finger separators — reduces skin-on-skin moisture between the fingers. This makes daily hand washing and inspection much easier for carers and clinicians.
