BEDSORES ARE FULLY PREVENTABLE WITH MEDICAL SHEEPSKINS 

Bedsores (AKA pressure sores, pressure wounds and pressure ulcers) are a commonly encountered problem experienced by people that are confined to a bed or a wheelchair.  

Restricted movement because of illness, invalidity or hospitalisation creates pressure on the skin at points where the body’s weight is supported – usually the lower back, buttocks, shoulders and heels. This closes the tiny blood vessels near the skin’s surface and prevents vital nutrients from reaching the skin tissue in the affected area. 

As a result, skin tissue dies, and bedsores form 

Worryingly, bedsores can develop within a matter of HOURS and if untreated, will deteriorate into deep decubitus ulcers, eating through muscle, tendon and even bone! 

What causes bedsores?  How to treat bedsores in the elderly?  The elderly are most at risk because their skin is so fragile. Persistent rubbing of their knees, elbows or hands against bed linen may also be a source of bedsores, as could any other friction where the skin and bone move in separate directions. 

The Solution to Bed Sores & Pressure Ulcers 

How to treat bed sores at home?  Bedsores are FULLY PREVENTABLE. All that it requires is for the skin to be PROTECTED from unnecessary pressure and friction…and the BEST PROTECTION SYSTEM AVAILABLE IS AN AUSTRALIAN MEDICAL SHEEPSKIN RUG!

When placed underneath a patient or wrapped around them, the ultra-soft wool and specially buffed hide provide a gentle cushion for their skin. The patient’s weight is distributed more evenly over a wider area, lowering the risk of bedsores caused by pressure and friction.
