       HiTemp Urine Resistant  Medical Sheepskin

Preventing bed sores is much easier than healing them.  Prevent  bed sores by using a HiTemp Urine Resistant Medical Sheepskin.    Sheepskin is the best surface for comfort improvement and protection against the development of painful and debilitating bed sores.

Don't be fooled. Not all sheepskins are equal. Many are wrecked by washing because of insufficient tanning . To make a sheepskin washable, special tanning techniques need to be used.  Most medical sheepskins are chrome tanned; making them washable in water up to 30 degrees Celsius. HiTemp Urine Resistant Medical Sheepskins, the latest product of tanning technology, are tanned so that they can be washed up to 80 degrees. These sheepskins have properties that surpass all other sheepskins offered in the marketplace today. 

Very few sheepskins are tanned to be Urine Resistant. This sheepskin property is very important for the user who does not have bladder control. Look for the special stamp on the leather ( see above); it is your guarantee of safe HiTemp washing and Urine Resistance........and best of all.......it guarantees that you have the very best sheepskin available; anywhere in the world! They do not get any better than these! 

What is so good about them?

1. Can be disinfected thermally ( wash up to 80 degrees Celsius) and chemically (when washed with "woolskin"). An important feature for institutional use.  HiTemp UR Medical Sheepskins are guaranteed for 50 washes through a commercial washing machine; when washed with woolskin.  Washing with woolskin will leave  a residual bacteriostat in the wool fibre, giving protection against the development of unpleasant odours.  A Free sample of woolskin is included with each purchase.

2.Are Urine Resistant (UR). Only UR sheepskin will not breakdown in the presence of urine; making it ideal for people without bladder control.

                 No other sheepskins have these properties.

Sheepskin will prevent the development of bed sores by:

(a) reducing pressure on body parts in contact with the underlying surface

(b) keeping the patients' skin dry.....wool will absorb up to 34% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet

(c) reducing skin tearing forces when the patient moves.
