Applications
Grip Sock+ more friction has been developed to assist movement in situations requiring a lot of friction, such as moving on wet environments on floor surfaces, transferring in bed, and wheelchair propulsion reeling. As the name suggests, the socks provides more friction than the Grip Sock for dry and wet floor surfaces.

Moving around in shower areas
When moving in shower areas, the floor surface can become slippery due to water and soap. When moving on wet environments floor surfaces, the Grip Sock+ is worn by rolling it onto the bare foot, and the friction material of the Grip Sock provides good grip and safety for moving on wet floors.
Moving around the pool facilities areas
When moving in pool areas, the floor or the surface of the pool/tub can become slippery due to the combination of water and detergent soap.
The surface of a tub is also slippery even if only water is added. The Grip Sock+ is worn by rolling it onto the bare foot, and the friction material of the Grip Sock+ provides good grip and safety for moving in wet areas. The Grip Sock+ also works well on holidays, on potentially slippery pool decks.
Wheelchair access
Access to a wheelchair typically occurs when moving from bed or chair. It is important to consider the floor surface and the type of socks worn on feet during the transfer to wheelchair. To facilitate the transfer and increase safety, Grip Sock+ is a useful and easy tool. With Grip Sock+´s on, foot grip on the floor is ensured, thus enabling safe transfers independently or with assistance from another person.
Wheelchair reeling
When reeling wheelchair with hands, it’s possible to use one foot to aid reeling. Grip Sock+´s are worn by rolling them over a regular or woollen sock, thus reducing the need for hand force and improving the handling of the wheelchair.
