These real wool wheelchair seat covers have the unique ability to absorb perspiration, thus preventing the skin from becoming 'clammy'. This allows the skin to breath more effectively; very important in pressure area care. Real wool is exothermic. Unlike polyester fleeces, wool can absorb up to 33% of its own weight in moisture without feeling damp (compared with polyester's 5%), wool will not feel cold even when damp. Real wool has a remarkable natural resilience: with the real lambs wool high-density 1" deep pile this distributes pressure more evenly giving immediate comfort and relief. Real wool has a gentle touch that prevents friction burns from abrasive materials. The wheelchair seat covers are pre-treated to enable the real lambs wool to be hot washable up to 161°F ( 71°C) and autoclaved. The wheelchair seat covers can be washed at these temperatures up to 50 times and still continue to give softness and comfort to patients.
