Many people place these beautifully soft sheepskins on their chair or sofa for comfort and warmth. A more comforting surface does not exist. You will find yourself running your fingers through the pile, without even thinking about it.

Australian Healthcare Lambskins should be washed in cool or luke water and Woolskin. If they are washed in hot water, they may shrink. Don't let this feature deter you from purchasing these sheepskins. Disinfection is most important if open wounds are present. People with open wounds should use HiTemp wash skins (M102 and M102C and SC104), which can be thermally disinfected in hot water.  Sheepskins can be disinfected using Woolskin in either cool or hot water.

If the client is continent, this Warm Water Wash Lambskin will give excellent pressure sore prevention from the shoulders to below the buttocks. Use in the bed, wheelchair or on the sofa. They are wonderfully soft and they add a new sense of well-being to the user.

M101 is NOT recommended for incontinent clients because they are not UR (Urine Resistant) and may be permanently damaged by urine and feces.

For incontinent clients we recommend: 

• M102 - Hitemp UR Medical Sheepskin Overlay.

• SC104: Superior HiTemp Medical Sheepskin Overlay 

Care:

Machine washable in Woolskin. Use cool - warm water and a low agitation washing cycle. After washing, dry on a drying rack or on the back of a chair with the leather facing  up. The leather takes longer to dry than the wool. Do not dry in the sun or near direct heat. Normal household detergents, like Tide, will damage the leather of washable sheepskins.
