BENEFITS OF
SHEEPSKIN
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.
