Raynaud op het werk: werken met koude handen

Werken met koude handen is voor mensen met het fenomeen van Raynaud extra lastig. Bij kou trekken de bloedvaten in de vingers zich sterk samen: de vingers worden wit, gevoelloos en pijnlijk — op een koude werkplek een groot ongemak.

Koude, bleke vingers warmen op aan een warme mok bij het fenomeen van Raynaud

Waarom kou het verergert

Kou en stress zijn de belangrijkste triggers van een aanval. Voor mensen met Raynaud is warm blijven daarom geen comfort maar noodzaak om te kunnen blijven werken. Meer over de aandoening lees je op Thuisarts.nl over het fenomeen van Raynaud.

Wat helpt op het werk

Houd de romp warm: een warme kern verbetert de doorbloeding van de handen.
Draag warme handschoenen en vermijd plotselinge koude.
Beperk de blootstelling en las opwarmmomenten in.

Een vaak onderschatte hefboom: omdat het lichaam bij kou eerst de uiteinden afknijpt, helpt een warme kernlaag indirect de handen — de doorbloeding wordt minder sterk teruggeschroefd.

Dit artikel geeft algemene informatie en vervangt geen medisch advies. Bij vaak terugkerende of ernstige klachten is het verstandig een arts te raadplegen.

Warme handen beginnen bij de romp — een verwarmde bodywarmer als kernlaag, te combineren met verwarmde handschoenen.

Veelgestelde vragen

Waarom helpt een warme bodywarmer bij koude handen?

Bij kou knijpt het lichaam eerst de doorbloeding van de uiteinden af om de kern warm te houden. Een warme romp vermindert die reflex en ondersteunt de doorbloeding van de handen.

Kun je met Raynaud in de kou werken?

Vaak wel, als je consequent voor warmte zorgt en de blootstelling beperkt. Bij ernstige klachten is medisch advies zinvol.

So the heater can be turned off

So I thought heated vests were much more expensive, but thankfully, thanks to you, that's not the case. It's very comfortable and heats up quickly. I recommend this product to anyone who spends all day outside in the cold. I should have bought it thirty years ago.

I had problems with the delivery

I had problems with the delivery, so I contacted them. A new one was sent immediately, and it's arrived now. It warms up quickly, and the extra patches are perfect! This will get me through the winter! I had problems with the delivery, so I contacted them. A new one was sent immediately, and it's arrived now....

Nice warm body warmer

The bodywarmer looks great and is nice and warm. Unfortunately, it's too tight, but I sent an email and it's being exchanged for a larger size. Excellent service. So nice and warm all winter long.

More effective than turning the heating up a degree

I bought the Høgge body warmer for both me and my husband. It's been the best purchase for keeping us nice and warm. Whether it's walking, gardening, or just because you're feeling cold, this fantastic body warmer solves all of that. Highly recommended and more effective than turning up the heat.

An Ode to Gløde!

After the Øney from Gløde, which is super comfortable for outdoor riding lessons, I've now also tried their bodywarmer for indoor riding, and it's fantastic too! The elastic sides ensure a perfect fit and allow for plenty of freedom of movement. The control panels are on the outside, making it very easy to adjust the temperature on the go. When riding warm and relaxed, it's very pleasant to have the heater on. After the Øney from Gløde, which is super comfortable for outdoor riding lessons, I've now also tried their bodywarmer for...

Very happy with the bodywarmer

I'm very happy with the body warmer; it's easy and chic to wear over my sweater, but it also works under a jacket. I'm very happy with it.
