Fabric to protect you if you have neurodermatitis

Neurodermatitis (also called atopic eczema) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition which involves intense itching. As a result, eczema forms, especially in large skin folds (such as the elbows, knees or neck) and on the scalp. Scratching these parts of the body makes it easier for inflammation to occur because bacteria can make their way into the deeper layers of the skin. The unbearable itching often takes place at night and leads to children scratching themselves without being aware of it. The Dermifant® eczema suit keeps your child from hurting itself. The mittens attached to the suit prevent nighttime scratching without affecting the child’s ability to move.

Standards protective fabrics have to meet

• Contain no irritating chemical additives: no dyes or bleaches

• Highly breathable fabric
• Can be washed at high temperatures of 60-95°C to remove traces of cream and lotions
• Stretchable fabric, optimal comfortable fit
• Labels and seams are stitched on the outside for greater comfort
• The trim at the neck, legs and sleeves is non-constricting and has no exposed elastic
