Why Choose DermaSilk® Tubular Sleeves?

DermaSilk® Tubular Sleeves have been specially developed to help people living with:

• Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)
• Contact Dermatitis
• Sensitive Skin
• Allergic Skin Conditions
• Dry, Irritated or Itchy Skin

Made from 98% DermaSilk® medical-grade silk and 2% Lycra, these tubular sleeves provide exceptional softness while maintaining flexibility and durability.

Unlike ordinary stretch fabrics, every Lycra fibre is completely wrapped in a double helix of DermaSilk® threads. Even when the sleeve stretches, the Lycra remains fully enclosed within the silk, preventing direct contact with the skin. This innovative construction helps minimise irritation while providing a comfortable, secure fit.

The naturally smooth silk fibres help maintain a stable skin microclimate by supporting the skin's natural moisture balance. This can help reduce dryness, itching and scratching, making DermaSilk® sleeves ideal for everyday management of eczema and other inflammatory skin conditions.

Their seamless tubular design fits comfortably over elbows or knees and can be worn discreetly beneath clothing during the day or while sleeping.

DermaSilk® garments are trusted worldwide by healthcare professionals and families managing eczema. The silk fibres are permanently protected with an antimicrobial treatment that helps maintain fabric hygiene without affecting the softness or breathability of the material.

Many users wear DermaSilk® garments alongside their regular skincare routine, moisturisers or topical treatments as recommended by their healthcare professional.
