Medical Sheepskin For Recliner Chair

Sheepskin provides comfort and relief from pressure points for those confined to sitting or lying still for extended periods. This includes dialysis patients as well as anyone confined to chairs due to illness, injury, or surgery. While synthetic fibres can harbour bacteria easily while our fine merino wool naturally wicks away moisture to keep users cool and comfortable – helping with blood circulation to lower pressure sore risk as well as other discomforts.

Our medical grade sheepskin is handcrafted using fine Merino fleece in a natural animal shape with golden beige hue. Cut to size to be suitable for beds, wheelchairs and recliners, its chrome-tanned pelts are washable, urea resistant and hypoallergenic making them suitable for home or care settings to relieve pressure sore pain at sensitive pressure points, increase circulation while aiding shear/friction reduction.

Medical sheepskins are sanitised to ensure maximum peace of mind and protection from infection, and have been cut down to an average height of 30mm for optimal comfort and pressure redistribution. Fine merino wool acts as an air channel through which air can pass freely allowing users to stay cool, reduce sweating and odour, prevent maceration of skin and enable improved circulation and breathing for those prone.

Merino wool naturally draws away moisture, helping reduce perspiration and promote hydration while also protecting from odours and bacterial growth by absorbing clothing odours. Thanks to its breathable quality, sheepskins can be easily cleaned using specially formulated wool wash, while this will also recondition and soften leather backings while remaining water-resistant.

Important to keep in mind is the use of standard enzymatic detergents can damage and harden leather, therefore should not be utilized. Instead, medical sheepskin washes like Shear Comfort Sheepskin Wash are more appropriate to cleaning and disinfecting medical sheepskins. Regular care must also include airing your shearling regularly, shaking it to fluff up its fibers, as well as spot cleaning any light soiling.

Diabetes requires special consideration when it comes to foot care. Diabetes can reduce blood flow and nerve damage, increasing the risk of injuries such as ulcers. A Shear Comfort medical shearling boot provides protection from friction and shear while supporting ankles; its tall design fits comfortably over swelling bandages compression hosiery while its open toe design facilitates inspection for signs of pressure sores or other conditions.
