Bedsore Prevention using Australian Medical Sheepskin & Pressure Smart XD1900: Shear Comfort Products:

Areas of the body where bones are close to the surface and areas that are under the most pressure are at greatest risk for developing pressure sores. Once you know this, then pressure sore prevention becomes more understandable. Pressure sores are commonly found in the coccyx area first. These are often followed by heel pressure sores- both of these body areas should be  checked daily.

Pressure sores do not have to occur and in 98% of cases, they can be prevented. Pressure sores are not not necessary and should not be expected if proper care is used. Proper care means moving every 20-30 minutes and using pressure sore prevention surfaces eg Shear Comfort products.

All Shear Comfort and XD1900 products are fire retardant and carry the medical Class 1 CE mark, meaning you can be assured of receiving the highest possible quality designed for specific medical benefits.

WOOL….. WOOL, the natural fiber,  has many very favourable properties for pressure sore prevention.  Highest quality Wool, the kind of wool that Shear Comfort uses, reduces pressure, skin moisture and shear- the 3 major causes of pressure sores.

WOOL fibres are:

  • comforting, soft and luxuriously gentle next to the skin
  • machine washable
  • biodegradable
  • renewable
  • stain, odour and fire resistant
  • active body temperature regulators
  • capable of absorbing large amounts of water vapour; moving it away from the skin
  • non-allergenic

Shear Comfort Medical Sheepskin Overlays exceed the standard for Australian Medical Sheepskin (AS4480-1, 1998). This product is termed an  “Overlay” because it is usually placed on top of the bottom sheet of a bed and the user lies directly on the wool. Underlays are placed under  the bottom sheet and the user lies on the sheet . Shear Comfort Medical Sheepskin Overlays are  lambskins that have been specially selected after tanning and can be identified by the non-removable stamp shown below.
