Together with the ability of the sheepskin to wick wetness and sweat quickly far from the body’s skin, there is steady air circulation between the wool fibres. This airflow between the wool fibres is the sheepskin’s natural capability to assist in creating a constant body temperature. This natural feature means that in the cooler times, you will feel warm, and in the warmer times, it will feel cool, leading to less sweating year-round.

Even weight distribution is necessary for sore pressure avoidance. The 26-30mm wool pile length does this exceptionally well. The wool pile density is an essential property of Our Medical and AS4480.1 Medical Sheepskins. The natural wool fibres of the selected medical sheepskin are soft and springy, allowing the sheepskin to conform quickly to an individual’s body. This assists in alleviating pressure while likewise improving blood circulation. One important thing is that the wool pile is not too soft as it will not support the body and hence not provide the necessary support. With Medical Sheepskin, Softness is not the best option.

Other factors that add to the advancement of bedsores include an extreme quantity of moisture due to sweating and friction from rubbing against the bedsheets.

Medical sheepskins are used in Hospitals, Aged Care Homes, rehabilitation centres and medical facilities. They are primarily utilised during and after surgical treatment for debilitating injuries and long-term care.

Even Weight Distribution:

The wool fibres of the sheepskin are robust, and they can be bent back and forwards approximately twenty thousand times without breaking, making them the strongest of fibres. The springy fibres keep recuperating into shape, offering ongoing pressure support. The Durable wool fibres and hide strength make medical sheepskin resilient and hold up against more than 200 washes in a commercial laundry.
