 Superior Overlay- Pressure Smart XD1900: SC104XD

NEW: Natural color wool: Suitable for Nursing Home and domestic use.

Features:

The Pressure Smart XD Superior Overlay uses new wool technology to Prevent and Treat Pressure Sores, Bedsores and Decubitus Ulcers. This new wool technology enables the production of a machine washable, Urine Resistant fleece that exceeds 1900 g of wool /square meter- nearly double the wool pile density of most sheepskins.

The Pressure Smart XD Overlay is a 30" X  60" pad with natural colour wool. It is most effective when the user lies directly on the wool surface. This comforting Merino wool surface, 30mm pile,  decreases pressure points, absorbs moisture and reduces shear..the 3 major causes of pressure sores.

 This significantly cheaper alternative to the HiTemp UR Medical Sheepskin Superior Overlay has some distinct advantages.

  • The Pressure Smart XD1900 Superior Overlay is produced from wool that is shorn from the sheep and is thus part of a sustainable wool industry.  Merino sheep need to be shorn at least once a year because their wool does not stop growing. If the coat is allowed to grow too long, it can cause heat stress, mobility issues, and blindness.
  • It is easier to care for, being machine washable AND machine dry. This reduces the recycling time when laundering is necessary.
  • Because the pile is so dense ( at least 1900 grams/square metre of surface ), spillage does not readily pass through the pile. So, spillage can be easily cleaned up with a damp cloth. It is recommended that you wash this product when it becomes smelly. Shear Comfort warrants this product for 50 washes in Woolskin, when the recommended washing procedures are used.

Care:

Machine wash in Woolskin to condition and disinfect the Overlay. Air dry out of direct sunlight or away from direct heat sources. Can be dried in the dryer using low heat and gentle agitation. Do not overdry, because wool does best with 15% residual moisture.

    Fabulous Customer Service

    I bought this for my BIL who is hospitalized with a sudden autoimmune-type illness that has caused paralysis. I ordered it on a Thursday and it arrived in BC on a Tuesday. They even called me back the same day I emailed with a question. I'm very impressed.

    I have been using the medical sheepskins for years on my daughters bed and chair. She has never had any skin conditions. She is now 32 years old.
