Everybody is afraid of falls. It's not only the elderly who are susceptible to falls but also young adults and children. It's a great idea to wear some anti-slip footwear but not to worry - we have discovered the wonders of Gripsox. Gripsox is a world leader in non-slip grip socks and is also the world's leading form of independently clinically trialled non-slip grip socks. It has now established itself as an internationally recognized brand and a leader in falls prevention.

The key feature of GripSox® is that it has a “non-slip” rubberised sole to help with the gripping of variable floor surfaces, equipment and mats. It is not only patients who can benefit from the use of GripSox®. All health staff, and in particular nurses and carers, can benefit from the knowledge that a patient to whom they are about to attend, is visibly identifiable as a high fall risk by the wearing of GripSox® non-slip grip socks. They can be better prepared in advance and when assisting with patient transfers, thus resulting in fewer staff manual handling injuries from unexpected patient slips and falls. Not only does this reduce work days lost through staff injuries, but financially speaking, a reduction in the incidence of patient falls and staff injuries.

Not only does the Gripsox have a firm grip, but it is latex-free and has a high stretch top band, an anklet & stretch top option and a seamless toe for comfort. The fitted heel also prevents sock rotation. It is made of 95% cotton to allow breathability (essential for exercise), and 5% elastane for extra stretch over swollen feet and you can also use the Gripsox on tiles. floorboards, wet areas such as bathrooms and laundries and outdoor areas. Being non-slip, they are perfect to wear for Dancing, Yoga, Pilates or Indoor Sports.
