Pressure Sore Prevention using Merino Wool
The latest development in wool technology in Australia has produced a Merino wool fleece with a greater pile density than most sheepskins. This means that greater pressure reduction is achieved with a consequent lower probability of getting a pressure sore.
This new technology is called: Pressure Smart XD1900. Created on a large round sliverknit machine, Pressure Smart XD1900 fleece can be cut to desired dimensions. Consequently, bed pads of various sizes, wheelchair pads and footwear made from Pressure Smart XD1900 is now possible.
Pressure Smart XD1900 is remarkable for its properties and easy care; being machine wash in Woolskin and machine dry.
