Benefits of Australian Medical Sheepskins:

Australian Medical Sheepskin AS4480.1  has some unique properties that make it a versatile product. 

1. Pressure Redistribution

The primary advantage of sheepskin is its ability to reduce the frequency of pressure injuries. WOOL products have been created to enhance comfort by equalling weight distribution, reducing shear and skin moisture. Our range of WOOL products create an environment that gives ideal  pressure reduction in pressure point areas.

2.Enhanced Comfort

The Australian Medical Sheepskin is unique. It has a silky and sumptuous feel, that enhances the users well being. The dense pile, made up of Merino Wool fibres, provide natural support and comfort, whether it is by reducing strain on your foot as you walk or redistributing your weight so you may lie down with genuine ease. Further, the development of pressure sores is negated with increased comfort and less irritation in sensitive areas.

3.Natural Thermostat

It has been observed that sheep skin functions as a natural thermostat. It implies that when sheepskin comes into contact with human skin, body temperature is controlled, keeping you both warm in the cold and calm and composed in the hot weather. The hollow WOOL fibers in the fleece of a genuine medical sheepskin allow air to pass through and out, making it very breathable.

4.Enhances Blood Circulation

Body temperature regulation can aid in the improvement of general circulation. Furthermore, the medical sheepskin enables the weight to be distributed, decreasing the possibility of creating a pressure point that could impair circulation. Thus, there will be no more waking up with a limb that is still unconscious because the additional warmth that medicinal sheepskin offers helps blood circulation.

5.Moisture Absorption

Sheepskin has moisture-wicking properties that keep it dry to the touch, unlike synthetic items that can trap heat and leave you damp and smelly. As a result, you can enjoy those warm days a bit more comfortably because you won't be stuck in sticky or irritating conditions.

6.Dust Resistant

Natural sheepskins have built-in antibacterial and hypoallergenic properties. The inherent oils found in wool fibers make sheepskin resistant to dust, stains, and bacteria. Actually, Lanolin (found in sheepskins) has a self-cleaning property that keeps microorganisms at bay.

Synthetic fibers, unlike sheepskin, harbor bacteria and allergens, which can cause illness and allergic reactions. This makes sheepskin a fantastic option for anyone who struggles with allergies or asthma.

7. Friction Reduction

Moving back and forth constantly in bed or a chair can eventually become irritating, especially if it is required regularly. Medical Sheepskin is very soft and is used for Underlays and overlays because it reduces friction and eases movement.

8.Flame and Static Resistant

Sheepskins are inherently flame-resistant and have a moisture capacity of over 30% of their own weight before they start to feel damp. It has a lower likelihood of catching fire and will burn more slowly if it does.

Natural sheepskin does not produce static electricity from friction, making it a valuable material for seat covers for chairs and automobile seats, in contrast to synthetic seat covers that insulate electrical energy. Therefore, there will be no more irritating shocks because it is inherently static resistant.

9. Reduces the risk of diseases

It is recommended for practically everyone, from newborns to the elderly, due to it's hypoallergenic and antibacterial qualities.  Using a medical sheepskin can help you sleep better and relieve the pressure points, back pain, excessive sweating, and hip pressure.

10. Durable

Medical sheepskin is the only natural fiber that can be twisted over 20,000 times and still maintain its shape without tearing or breaking. Therefore, if you take proper care of it, it can last you a lifetime.

The bottom line is that the many advantages of sheepskin make using Australian Medical Sheepskin a genuinely exceptional experience.
