Pressure Sore
FAQ
Frequently
Asked
Questions:
Q. My father has a bed sore
at the base of his tail bone.
What can I do to help him?
A.
Bedsores are
caused by a number of factors.
If you reduce or eliminate these
factors, the bedsore will heal.
The 3 most important factors
are: Pressure, Friction and
moisture. Our M102, the HiTemp
Urine Resistant Medical
Sheepskins ( AS4480.1) will
reduce all 3. We recommend that
you have your father lie
directly on the sheepskin for
added comfort and pressure sore
prevention. It should be used
24/7 for maximum effectiveness.

Q.
My mother is confined to bed and
has heel sores. What would you
recommend?
A. Placing the
heels directly on Medical
Sheepskin will reduce or
eliminate the causes of the
sores. We recommend that you use
the
M103: Pressure Care Assistant.
This is a piece of HiTemp UR
Medical Sheepksin ( 24" X 15" )
with side flaps that can be
tucked under the mattress to
keep it in place.

Q.
I see
that you have 2 kinds of
Medical
Sheepskin.
What is the difference between
them?
1.
The
HiTemp UR Medical
Sheepskin(M102)
is the highest quality sheepskin
available. The pile density is
very high and the sheepskin has
been tanned so that it will not
break down in the presence of
urine. Ideal for incontinent
patients. Excellent washability.
Machine Wash in water up to 80oC,
providing thermal disinfection.
These premium quality sheepskins
are still giving good service
after being inn hospitals for
more than 2 years. Sheepskins
have been washed more than 200
times in Woolskin and still look
and feel good. Ideal for
incontinent clients since these
sheepskin are urine resistant.
2.
The
M101 Australian
Medical Sheepskin
is an excellent quality chrome
tanned lambskin. The pile
density is very good and has
good washability with Woolskin.
Wash in cool-warm water and
Woolskin only. Wash as you would
a good woolen sweater. These
lambskins are not urine
resistant and will break down in
the presence of urine. Not
recommended for incontinent
clients.

Q. My mother is confined to
her bed and wheelchair. How can
I protect her from getting
bedsores?
A. We would
recommend that she uses the
M102:
HiTemp UR
Medical Sheepskin
in the bed and wheelchair. These
sheepskins weigh about 2 lbs and
are easy to transfer from the
bed to the chair. To prevent
heel sores we suggest you use
the
M103: Pressure Care Assistant
. Both
products should be washed in
W102: Woolskin-
the best product for washing
sheepskin and wool.
