Medical sheepskin provides a soft, natural cushioning that can significantly improve patient comfort. It's especially beneficial for those who are bedridden or immobile, as it helps in distributing pressure evenly, reducing the risk of bedsores and pressure ulcers.

Medical sheepskin helps prevent bedsores and pressure ulcers due to its dense, springy wool fibers that provide natural cushioning. This cushion effect evenly distributes a patient's body pressure, reducing the concentration on areas prone to sores, such as bony prominences. Its breathability and moisture-wicking capabilities keep the skin dry and comfortable, minimizing the risk of friction and skin issues that lead to sores. Additionally, the lanolin in sheepskin has antibacterial properties that aid in maintaining skin hygiene and reducing infection risks.

Medical sheepskin is a natural material made from real sheepskin, specially treated to maintain its natural properties. It is used in medical settings to help prevent pressure sores, improve comfort, and regulate body temperature and improve circulation.

For diabetics, who are often at higher risk of developing ulcers and sores due to poor circulation, medical sheepskin can help by reducing pressure and friction, promoting healthy circulation, and maintaining a dry and temperature-regulated environment.

Yes, there is a difference. Medical sheepskin is specially tanned and processed to retain its natural properties and meet medical standards. It is denser, more resilient, and has a higher wool pile compared to regular sheepskin.

Yes, medical sheepskin can be used in wheelchairs to provide comfort, reduce pressure, and prevent sores for individuals who spend long periods sitting.

Medical sheepskin helps with temperature regulation by wicking away moisture and allowing air to circulate, keeping the skin cool in summer and warm in winter.  By maintaining a stable temperature, this property helps to ensure the surface does not become overly warm and sweaty, which can be a problem with faux sheepskin or less breathable materials.

Sheepskin must be able to breathe; this ensures that your medical sheepskin piece will not dry out or be exposed to condensation.

*Remember, while medical sheepskin offers numerous benefits, it should complement regular medical care.

Moisture-Wicking: Sheepskin can absorb moisture up to about 30% of its own weight without feeling wet. This wicking ability draws moisture away from the skin, helping to keep the area dry and comfortable.

Breathability: The structure of sheepskin allows air to circulate through the fibers, which helps to evaporate any trapped moisture quickly. This air circulation is essential for keeping the environment dry and preventing the conditions that bacteria and mold need to grow.

Natural Lanolin: Sheepskin contains lanolin, a natural oil that is both antimicrobial and anti-fungal. Lanolin helps to inhibit the growth of microorganisms, further protecting against infections and odor development.
