Where a large abdominal apron gets in the way of care, a pannus support sling holds it clear so the work can happen. It is used for personal hygiene, wound care and skin checks in the folds, and to give support during procedures where access is the whole problem.
Applying it is quick, and once it is in place a carer has two hands free instead of one. That is the difference between a safe, unhurried skin inspection and a rushed one, and it takes a lot of static holding out of the nurse’s day.
The double layer Silva-Superfine fabric with Coolmax sits against skin that is often warm and moist, and it launders at the temperature infection control will ask for.
