Medicinal sheepskin - Extra large
Are you forced to sit and/or lie down a lot? Our Texel medical sheepskin will help you prevent bedsores or pressure sores.
The Texel medical sheepskin is suitable for people who need decubitus prevention or want more comfort in their bed or (wheel)chair.
Bedsores (decubitus) are common in Dutch nursing homes. When patients are bedridden, wounds can develop in the areas with high pressure. Bedsores are very painful and in most cases preventable.
In Australia, medical coats have been used in hospitals since 1998.
Recent research in Australia has shown that, the patients who lay on an medicinal sheepskin, 91% didn't develope pressure sores.
For the medical sheepskins we use the sheepskin of the Texel sheep.
Due to the wind and salty sea air on the island, the Texel has a firm frizzy wool with a high content of lanolin.
Lanolin is a wool grease that has a nurturing effect on the skin.
The medicinal sheepskin is shorn short, which gives it a pleasant firmness when used to distribute the pressure of the body.
The advantages of a medicinal sheepskin
Our Texel medicinal sheepskin is pressure regulating, moisture and temperature regulating, irritation free, antibacterial and if necessary washable on a wool wash of 30 degrees.
Our medicinal sheepskin is shorn short so it offers a pleasant firmness when used to distribute the pressure of the body.
Because the wool regulates heat it can adapt to the temperature of the body. This makes the medicinal sheepskin feel wonderfully warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
A genuine Texelaar product
We source our sheepskins from Skéépe, the only supplier of genuine Texel furs, which guarantees that you are buying the fleece from a sheep that has actually lived on the island.
Skéépe has the furs cleaned and tanned ecologically. So with your purchase you get a sustainable and unique product in your hands, which with the right maintenance will last a lifetime!
Dimensions:
The coat is approx 125 cm long and 80 cm wide.
All our medicinal sheepskins come with a Skéépe hygiene-seal. This way you are assured of an unused and hygienic sheepskin. Once the seal is broken, the product can unfortunately no longer be returned.
