High-Temperature Medical Sheepskin Rugs offer all of the same user benefits as our regular machine washable medical skins. The difference between the two products is that these medical sheepskins are specially tanned and treated to withstand high-temperature washing at 175⁰ Fahrenheit (80⁰ Celsius) for 8 minutes. These washing conditions adhere to North America and EU health authority requirement levels for product disinfection. Thereby, these medical sheepskins can be washed and used repeatedly in hospitals and nursing care facilities.

Australian medical grade Sheepskin rugs can greatly increase patient comfort and relief from pressure points and bed sores. Medical sheepskin pads distribute pressure points and help to alleviate discomfort for patients who are confined to one position for long periods of time. The wool pile has been trimmed to 1.25" to reduce matting from over use. Our medical sheepskin pads are durable and machine washable. Sheepskin wool is a soft and hollow fiber which promotes air flow and breathability. This helps to regulate body temperature and keeps users comfortable and dry in all seasons. Medical sheepskins are specially selected for their larger size and extremely dense wool and are most commonly used in beds and wheelchairs. 
*Some color loss may occur with washing, commonly on the initial wash.

General Care: Regular brushing will maintain the soft, fluffy appearance and help to reduce matting. Avoid direct sunlight and high heat sources, such as blow dryers and radiators.
