Healthcare

Protective clothing developed for healthcare and social care environments.

Healthcare, residential-care and social-care professionals may encounter biting, scratching and pinching during close-contact support. NamNox Pro develops wearable protection around the role, service user, vulnerable areas and working environment.

Understanding the environment

Protection should support safe, practical and dignified care.

Healthcare and social-care professionals may support patients or service users with mobility, personal care, communication, emotional regulation or complex behavioural needs. Where bite, scratch or pinch incidents form part of the occupational risk, clothing must balance coverage with comfort, movement, hygiene, dignity and professional appearance.

NamNox Pro develops garment routes around each organisation’s risk assessment rather than treating hospitals, residential homes, community services and staff roles as identical.

01 · PATIENT-FACING CARE

Nurses & patient-facing staff

Wearable protective layers for professionals providing treatment, daily care and close-contact patient support.

02 · CARE & SUPPORT

Care & support workers

Coverage-conscious options for staff providing mobility assistance, personal care and individual patient support.

03 · RESIDENTIAL CARE

Residential care teams

Wearable protection for staff supporting service users in care homes, supported-living and long-term residential environments.

04 · COMMUNITY & SOCIAL CARE

Social care professionals

Garment routes for community, outreach and social-care roles requiring mobility, discretion and practical coverage.

Coverage assessment

Configure protection around exposed areas.

The appropriate garment depends on staff duties, the care setting and documented incident patterns. Some roles may prioritise hands and forearms, while others require broader upper- or lower-body coverage.

Protective clothing is one part of a wider safeguarding, dignity and workplace-safety programme. It does not replace risk assessment, training, staffing, behaviour-support planning or incident-prevention measures.
Hands & wristsGlove formats reviewed around dexterity, care tasks, equipment use and exposed areas.
Forearms & armsExtended protection for areas commonly exposed during close-contact patient or service-user care.
Torso & shouldersJackets, sweatshirts and discreet layers configured around upper-body coverage.
NecklineHigher-neck routes where the organisation identifies additional exposure.
Lower bodyBase-layer options for legs and other organisation-specific requirements.

Buyer questions

Common questions from healthcare and social-care organisations.

Which healthcare or social-care roles may need protection?

This depends on the organisation’s risk assessment, staff duties, care environment, incident history and vulnerable areas. The decision should be role-specific rather than applied automatically to every employee.

Will the clothing look appropriate in care settings?

Garment formats, colours, trims and branding can be reviewed to support a professional, discreet and role-appropriate appearance.

Can different staff sizes be supplied?

Yes. NamNox Pro supports organisation-wide size ranges, bulk quantities and repeat manufacturing.

Can performance claims be documented?

Claims should align with relevant test evidence and the intended application. Material performance should not be presented as a guarantee for every finished garment or incident.
