Blue Jay Natural Sheepskin Pressure Relief Pad, Large, 6 to 7 Square Feet

The Blue Jay Natural Sheepskin Pad is made from fine quality true sheepskin with real natural wool to aid in the prevention of decubitus sores and skin breakdown in bedridden and mobility-limited patients. The natural wool fibers distribute pressure, reduce friction, and allow air circulation at the skin surface, helping to maintain skin integrity during extended periods of bed rest or seated positioning. Wool length: 1/2 to 5/8 inch. Large size, approximately 6 to 7 square feet. Note: size is approximate as sheep vary in size. Spot clean only with a damp sponge, cold water, and Woolite — machine washing not recommended.

Ideal For

Long-term care facilities, skilled nursing facilities, and hospital units that care for bedridden or mobility-limited patients at risk for pressure injuries will find the natural sheepskin pad a practical adjunct to standard pressure injury prevention protocols, providing a natural wool surface that distributes pressure and reduces friction at the skin interface during extended bed rest. Home health agencies and caregivers who provide care for older adults or individuals with limited mobility at home and need a pressure-relieving surface for bed or chair use will find the large sheepskin pad provides broad coverage for the trunk and lower extremity areas most susceptible to pressure injury in the home care setting. Hospice and palliative care programs that prioritize patient comfort and skin integrity for individuals with advanced illness and limited mobility will find the natural sheepskin pad’s soft wool surface provides comfort and pressure relief without the complexity of powered pressure-relief systems. Wound care nurses and certified wound care specialists who manage patients with existing pressure injuries or at high risk for skin breakdown will find the sheepskin pad a practical, low-cost adjunct for reducing friction and pressure at the skin surface between repositioning intervals. Rehabilitation hospitals and post-acute care facilities that care for patients recovering from stroke, orthopedic surgery, or spinal cord injury who have limited mobility and are at risk for pressure injury during the acute recovery phase will find the sheepskin pad a practical addition to the patient’s bed surface during the period of reduced mobility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this made from real sheepskin?
Yes. This pad is made from fine quality true sheepskin with real natural wool. It is not a synthetic or faux sheepskin product.

How do I clean this pad?
Spot clean only using a damp sponge with cold water and Woolite. Machine washing is not recommended as it may damage the natural wool fibers and sheepskin backing. Allow to air dry fully after cleaning.

What size is the large pad?
The large pad is approximately 6 to 7 square feet. Because this is a natural product made from real sheepskin, the exact size varies slightly between individual pads as sheep vary in size.

Is this pad a substitute for a medical-grade pressure relief mattress?
The natural sheepskin pad is a pressure-reducing surface aid and is not a substitute for a medical-grade pressure relief mattress or powered alternating pressure system for patients at high risk for pressure injury. Consult your wound care nurse or physician for a comprehensive pressure injury prevention plan appropriate for your patient’s risk level.
