FleeceEase is a specialised item of prophylactic nursing.

It is a genuine high density sheepskin, specially developed by the world’s leading sheepskin processor for the prevention of pressure ulcers.

FleeceEase supports the patient on a cushion of millions of resilient springy wool fibres through which air continuously moves.

Wool’s ability to retain lanolin within the fibre while absorbing up to 30% of its own weight in moisture, keeps the patients skin dry and gently lubricated.

FleeceEase eliminates vulnerable pressure points and prevents friction injury.

Only FleeceEase offers all of these benefits

  • Composed of natural elements similar to, and compatible with, human skin tissue.
  • Supremely supportive. The weight of the patient is borne by millions of springy and resilient wool fibres.
  • Moisture absorbent. The hydrophylic properties of the Bowron tanning process draw the moisture from the wool fibre through into the leather, away from the body’s pressure points.
  • Infection-resistant. Every FleeceEase is treated with the Sanitised~ process which impregnates both skin and wool fibres against microbial and fungal attack.
  • A “giving” appliance. When the patient moves, the fibres move too, reducing the incidence of friction and shear injury.
  • Convenient to use. The suede-like undersurface of the tanned skin does not move on fabric — FleeceEase stays in place without inconvenient positioning straps.
  • Combustion resistant. Wool and leather are proteins which do not flash or ignite.
  • Absolutely lint-free since all fibres are securely (and naturally!) bound to the leather.
  • The cushioning effect of the wool fibres allows a continual circulation of air beneath the patient.

FleeceEase offers a new dimension in cost—effective nursing care.
It is estimated that in the USA alone, some two million people suffer from pressure ulcers each year. Of these, around 60,000 die from pressure ulcer complications.

The current cost of pressure ulcer prevention and early treatment in the USA has been measured as at least $US3.5 billion annually.

Compare this with the cost of only a few minutes to position an inexpensive and preventative FleeceEase sheepskin.
