Texel medicinal sheepskin: ideal for prolonged sitting or lying down

The medical sheepskin distributes pressure evenly across the body, providing extra comfort and relief.
The Texel medicinal sheepskin XL is a healthcare product that is widely used as part of medical aids and can even have an AGB declaration code for healthcare use.
What is pressure ulcer (bedsore)?
Pressure ulcer, or bedsore, occurs when the skin and underlying tissue are under prolonged pressure.
People who have to lie in bed a lot or are unable to move much are particularly at risk. German research and studies in Australia show that the use of a medicinal sheepskin can significantly reduce the risk of wounds.
In Australia, no less than 91% of patients did not develop bedsores when using a medicinal sheepskin.
Texel sheepskins from the Texelaar breed
Our medicinal skins come from the Texel breed of sheep.
Due to the salty sea air and wind on Texel, the wool of these sheepskins has a sturdy structure, strong properties, and a high lanolin content.
Most of the lanolin is retained during the tanning process, preserving the softness, natural shine, and antibacterial properties.
This makes Texel medicinal sheepskin extremely suitable for healthcare applications and for people with sensitive skin.
What is medicinal sheepskin?
Medicinal sheepskin, also known as medical sheepskin, is a specially tanned product.
This sheepskin is sheared short and tanned in a special way, giving it a pleasant firmness while remaining soft to the skin.
The special tanning process ensures that the skin remains washable and free of harmful substances.
This makes these skins safe for daily use in care and healthcare institutions.
Regular sheepskin is mainly intended as a decorative product, while medicinal sheepskin is really intended as a care aid.
