Limited Mobility
Perfect for wearers with limited mobility
100% natural silk mitts protect delicate skin
- Our two part ScratchSleeves stay firmly in place while still being quick and easy to put on. Perfect for carers, particularly in cases when the wearer has dementia or has had a stroke, resulting in limited mobility. Especially good for elderly wearers.
- Velcro tabs on the shoulders and back help hold the ScratchSleeves securely in place.
- 100% natural silk mitts protect delicate skin from even the most vigorous skin-picking and scratching while the loose fitting and 100% stretch cotton sleeves ensure you stay cool and comfortable.
- ScratchSleeves can be used day or night and can be worn over or under regular clothing.
- Designed to minimise the damage done from skin-picking and scratching.
- Machine washable at 40 degrees using non-biological detergent. Can be tumble-dried. Sleeves should be connected with all tabs before washing.
We advise ordering based on wingspan measurement, please use our size chart to help select the correct size.
Please note that these ScratchSleeves have sewn in mitts that cannot be opened.
This is a new design and we currently only stock a small batch of each size. There is opportunity for these to be developed further, so we would greatly appreciate any feedback of these in use.

Our products are machine washable at 40°C using a non-biological, wool safe washing powder. If your washing machine tends to tangle clothes during the wash cycle, we suggest putting your ScratchSleeves in a laundry bag or pillow case to minimise stretching. This is particularly important in North America where the washing machine drums are much larger than those in Europe. We advise against using biological detergents and eco-washing balls as these will degrade the silk mitts. More here.
To be effective, your child’s hands should sit within the silk mitts so it’s important to get the correct size. We advise purchasing on the basis of wingspan rather than their age. With your child’s arm stretched out to the side, measure from the centre of their back to the tips of their fingers. Double this measurement to calculate the wingspan then use the size chart to find your child’s size. Our sizing tends to run large so we suggest refraining from buying a larger size even if your child’s wingspan is close to the top of the size range. More here .
