Description
The Skil-Care Sheepskin Filled Hand Cushion Grip is a specialized Palm Skin Protection Aid designed to support residents who experience involuntary hand closure due to stroke, neurological conditions, or limited mobility. When hands remain clenched for long periods, fingernails can press into delicate palm tissue, increasing the risk of skin irritation, breakdown, and discomfort. This soft and supportive hand contracture cushion provides a protective barrier between the nails and the palm while gently encouraging a more natural resting hand position. Filled with resilient synthetic sheepskin and covered in breathable, moisture-absorbing fabric, it promotes comfort during extended wear. The integrated elastic band helps keep the cushion securely in place, so it won’t fall to the floor, making it practical for both caregivers and users. Ideal for long-term care, rehabilitation settings, or home use, this cushion also offers mild resistance for light hand exercise. Protect fragile skin, improve comfort, and support gentle hand positioning—add the Skil-Care Cushion Grip to the care routine today.
