GeriLeg Protective Leg Sleeves & Protectors

Fragile, aging skin tears easily. A bump against a wheelchair footrest, a scrape along a bed rail, or the friction of a transfer can leave an older adult with a painful skin tear that's slow to heal. GeriLeg protective leg sleeves and protectors are designed to prevent exactly these injuries — cushioning the vulnerable lower leg and shin while staying breathable enough for everyday wear.

Made from a soft cotton, nylon, and spandex (or Lycra) blend, GeriLeg sleeves stretch to hug the calf without cutting off circulation. The padded construction absorbs impact from knocks and abrasions, while the seamless, stay-up design means caregivers can pull them on quickly and patients can wear them comfortably around the clock.

Getting the right fit matters more than anything here. GeriLeg is sized by calf circumference, so measure the leg at its widest point before ordering:

• Small: 9–12 inch lower calf — for slimmer legs.
• Medium (20-200): 12–15 inch calf circumference.
• Large (20-300): 15–18 inch calf circumference.
• X-Large (20-400 / 20-410): 18–21 inch calf circumference.
• 2X-Large (20-500): 21–24 inch lower calf, for larger legs.

Sleeves come in beige to blend discreetly under clothing, while the leg protector styles are offered in white. All fit either the left or right leg, so you can order for one side or both.

These are a practical choice for anyone on blood thinners, living with thin or paper-like skin, or prone to bruising — common concerns in elder care, long-term care facilities, and home caregiving. Because they wick moisture and wash easily, they hold up to repeated laundering without losing shape.
