Medical Sheepskins
for
wheelchair
pressure sore prevention.
Pressure Sore Prevention is the
logical and most humane method you have of caring for
those confined to a bed or wheelchair. Pressure sores are
unnecessary and, 95% of the time, can be prevented. -American
Family Physician, October 1996: v54, n5, p1519 (14)
Being comfortable and protected from the
development of pressure sores while confined to a
wheelchair is a challenge for all. Australian HiTemp UR
Medical Sheepskins will add comfort and prevent pressure
sores.
Pressure points (●)
develop in many places while sitting in a
wheelchair..see right. Pressure reduction at these
points will help to prevent pressure sores. Australian
Medical sheepskin will not only reduce pressure at these
points it will also reduce skin moisture and shear.
Pressure sores often develop as a result of skin
friction and frequently will tear when the person moves.
Australian Medical Sheepskins wick perspiration away
from the skin, making it less likely to tear and
develop into a sore.
