Shear Comfort Natural Medical Sheepskin Overlay

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.
