Decubitus Ulcers (bed sores) have three main causes:
pressure, friction and moisture. 100% Genuine medical
sheepskin from Sheepskin Ranch helps prevent all types
of bedsores by:
- reducing pressure at the point of body contact
- eliminating friction and tearing of the skin
- preventing the buildup of surface moisture, keeping
the patient dry
One Sheepskin used as a bed pad can support the back,
shoulders, and thighs. Small sections added under heels
and elbows are beneficial with long term patients. Best
results are obtained when the patient is placed directly
on the wool of the sheepskin with no other textile material
intervening.
