Sheep Wool Stump Protector

Natural warmth, moisture control, and cushioning for amputee comfort

Our Sheep Wool Stump Protector is designed to bring comfort, protection, and warmth to sensitive residual limbs. Made from 1" health‑density Merino sheep’s wool, it provides gentle cushioning, regulates temperature, and helps maintain a healthy skin environment day and night.

Sheep’s wool naturally retains body heat, helping keep muscles warm and relaxed. This added warmth can significantly reduce phantom sensations and phantom pain, offering soothing relief for many amputees. Wool also absorbs 30–40% of its weight in moisture, releasing it into the air to prevent dampness, irritation, and bacterial growth. Its antimicrobial and antibacterial properties make it ideal for fragile or healing skin.

Each protector is designed with elastic and Velcro closures for a secure, customizable fit.

What Is Sheep Wool Fabric?

Our wool fabric is made from:

• real wool fibres (sheared from the sheep)

• a soft nylon grid

• a medical‑grade acrylic stabilizer

This creates a plush, breathable material that looks like sheepskin but without the hide, making it durable, washable, and ideal for medical use.

Care 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 about 85% dry

• Spot clean with warm water and disinfecting soap

• Avoid bleach, high heat, and direct sunlight

Wool is naturally antimicrobial and doesn’t require frequent washing.
