Use Wool Color as a guide for Pressure Sore Prevention:

• Green Wool = Australian Medical Sheepskin( AS 4480.1) products have a pile density of 3000  GSM: ..BEST
• Blue Wool = Pressure Smart XD1900 products have a wool pile density of at least 1900 GSM ( grams per square meter)..BETTER
• White Wool = Nursing Fleece  products are 550 - 1050 GSM…GOOD

It is the wool that prevents the pressure sores. Higher GSM products are most effective. All Medical Sheepskin and Merino wool products are derived from premium quality Merino sheep. Their wool offers luxurious comfort and effective Pressure Sore Prevention.

Pressure Sore Prevention involves regulating:

• Pressure
• Skin Moisture
• Shear or skin tearing forces

All Medical Sheepskin and Merino wool products do this to varying degrees. It all depends on the GSM. The more wool there is, the better is the protection. 

CARE:

All products should be laundered in Woolskin- the detergent and conditioner developed in Australia by the tanning industry. Woolskin conditions and disinfects wool using Tea Tree Oil and Myrtle Oil, reducing the chance of wound infection.

Please Note: If ordinary household detergents, such as Woolite or Tide, are used for laundering , permanent damage of the leather backing may occur.
