Dycem is a unique non-slip material that solves many of the stabilisation and gripping problems encountered by those with limited dexterity, restricted mobility and reduced wrist or upper limb strength. Dycem Non-Slip grips on both sides to prevent movement and is ideal for providing support, stability and confidence during everyday activities and exercise. The products are widely used and recommended to patients by Occupational Therapists, physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals such as ward sisters and nurses.

Many elderly and disabled people experience difficulties in undertaking simple tasks of daily living such as preparing and eating food, dressing, answering the telephone and writing notes or letters. Provision of the appropriate Aids for Daily Living (ADL) can restore the individual's ability to carry out these basic tasks not only in the home but also in the workplace, at social events and at leisure, thus maintaining their independence and dignity.


The polymer composition has a very high co-efficient of friction. This is achieved by a combination of the high intrinsic surface energy, the extremely smooth surface which maximises the surface energy and the flexibility which allows for maximum contact.
