Description

Proven effectiveness in prevention of pressure ulcers
The Cochrane report confirms that medical sheepskin can prevent the development of pressure ulcers – see report Can pressure ulcers be prevented by using different support surfaces? | Cochrane
Comfort feel from soft and thick wool
The sheep’s wool is soft and thick and comes on a natural sheepskin backing.
Can be used anywhere and on any surface
Since these overlays retain their natural shape, they can be used either in bed or on chairs, armchairs, or wheelchairs for a snug fit.
Healthy microclimate for the skin
Wool takes up to 30% of its weight in water vapour without feeling moist. The air trapped between the wool fibres allows heat and moisture to dissipate.
Can aid quality sleep
Wool, being a natural material, gives a quieter more comfortable night’s sleep than when lying on a plastic-based product. In addition, a study in 1984 reported that a wool underlay decreased restlessness and improved sleep quality.
High density wool for added comfort
The Shear Comfort Natural Overlay is a medical sheepskin which has high density wool providing pressure redistribution and added comfort.
Healthy microclimate for the skin
Wool takes up to 30% of its weight in water vapour without feeling moist. The air trapped between the wool fibres allows heat and moisture to dissipate.
