The Wool Table Sheepskins Medical - Large

Medical grade sheepskin rugs increase comfort by relieving pressure points and reducing the development of bed sores.

Medical sheepskin rugs increase patient comfort in two ways: First, the dense shearling wool naturally distributes pressure. This immediately increases blood flow and decreases discomfort at common and sensitive pressure points. This is especially beneficial for patients who are confined to one position for long periods of time.
Second, the wool pile provides a continuously dry environment due to the natural breathability of the wool fibres. Lambswool wicks away moisture and promotes air flow to maintain a dry and insulating comfort. This greatly reduces the development or expansion of bed sores, as bacteria can't thrive in a dry environment. This breathability occurs because merino wool is a soft and hollow spring coil fibre.

The wool pile in all of our medical sheepskin pads has been trimmed to 30mm (1.25") to reduce matting from over use. Our sheepskin pads are Australian origin hides and ultra durable. They have extra dense wool and are machine washable or dry cleanable, although we recommend spot cleaning.
Medical sheepskin pelts are specially selected for their larger size and high wool density. They are most commonly uses in beds and wheelchairs, but are very versatile and can also be used on recliners, chairs, and couches.

General Care: Regular brushing will maintain the soft, fluffy appearance of the sheepskin and help to reduce matting. Avoid direct sunlight and high heat sources, such as blow dryers and radiators. Medical sheepskins are machine washable and dry cleanable, although spot cleaning is recommended. For more information and details please refer to our Sheepskin Care guidelines.
