Why Use a Medical Sheepskin:

Pressure Relief • Moisture Control • Skin Protection • Nervous‑System Support

Medical sheepskins are highly beneficial for individuals who require specialized care, including those who are bedridden, recovering from surgery, or spending extended periods in a wheelchair. Their natural wool fibres offer unique clinical advantages:

1. Pressure Redistribution

The dense wool pile distributes pressure evenly across the body, reducing pressure points and helping prevent:

• Bedsores

• Pressure ulcers

• Skin breakdown

This is essential for individuals with limited mobility or compromised circulation.

2. Moisture Absorption & Skin Integrity

Wool absorbs up to 40% of its weight in moisture, wicking dampness away from the skin. This helps:

• Keep the skin dry

• Reduce sweat buildup

• Prevent irritation and infection

• Support wound‑care environments

3. Natural Antimicrobial Protection

Lanolin in the wool acts as a natural antimicrobial agent, helping inhibit bacteria and reducing infection risk — especially important for individuals with fragile skin or compromised immune systems.

4. Friction & Shear Reduction

The soft, breathable wool surface protects delicate skin from friction and shear forces, helping prevent wounds and supporting faster healing.

5. Nervous‑System Comfort & Sensory Stability

Wool provides gentle tactile stimulation, consistent warmth, and breathable comfort that help calm the nervous system. This is especially beneficial for:

• Individuals in pain

• Those experiencing anxiety or agitation

• People who rely on sensory stability for comfort

• Long‑term care and palliative environments

Washing Instructions

• Machine wash on delicate in cool/lukewarm water (up to 70°C)

• Use wool soap with lanolin (e.g., Eucalan)

• Air dry or tumble with NO heat

• Remove from dryer at 85% dry, remaining moisture evaporates naturally

• Spot clean with warm water (up to 70°C) with eucalan or disinfecting soap

• Do not bleach

Refreshing Your Wool (Self‑Cleaning Cycle)

Wool naturally refreshes itself when exposed to moisture in the air:

• Hang outside in moist air (fog, evening humidity, light mist)

• Wool absorbs natural moisture

• When brought indoors, it releases excess moisture, leaving the wool fresh and deodorized

No chemicals needed, just nature doing what it does best.
