Description
Pillow Risk Alert Terries Socks turn the patient footwear itself into the alert, with yellow for falls risk, red for allergy and purple for DNR visible across the room. Every staff member who walks in reads the risk before they read the chart. The same Terries comfort and non-slip tread carry the message.
Alert Colors Staff Can Read at a Glance
Risk Alert Terries are the manufacturer risk-management slipper socks, color-coded by the alert they communicate. Yellow signals a falls risk patient, red signals an allergy alert and purple signals DNR status, matching the hospital standard color language. The socks are built on the Terries platform: plush terry knit, slip-resistant imprint tread and the gentle Komfort Kuff. This listing gathers every Risk Alert configuration in the channel, in 360 and standard imprint styles across Adult, XL, 2XL and 3XL Bariatric sizes. Color coding by alert and size together make selection fast and reduce the chance of the wrong sock reaching the wrong patient. All configurations are latex-free, machine washable and sold as cases of 48 pairs.

Why Units Put the Alert on the Footwear
Wristbands get covered, door signs get missed, but socks are seen every time a patient stands up, which is exactly the moment the alert matters. Risk Alert socks put the warning at the point of risk. For falls programs especially, that placement is the entire value.
- Seen at the critical moment – the alert is visible when the patient mobilizes, not just at the chart.
- One language, three alerts – falls, allergy and DNR in the standard hospital colors.
- Protection built in – the falls-risk color comes with non-slip tread by design.
- All sizes covered – alert socks from Child/Youth through 3XL Bariatric.
