WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?

The Wool Wheelchair Pad is a low profile wool cushion for a chair or wheelchair. It helps with pressure care and comfort without adding a lot of extra height.

It will fit chairs between 40cm to 50cm wide and can be used as a Seat Pad or as a Back Rest. Two separate Pads can be used together, with one on the seat and the other on the back of a chair if desired. The Pad is made from pure sheep’s wool attached to a breathable synthetic backing which, unlike sheepskin, can be washed with minimal shrinking. This wool has been specially treated for use in medical products, and will help with perspiration.

There is a layer of foam inside the Wool Wheelchair Pad to provide additional cushioning. The Pad has an opening to remove the foam for cleaning. The foam provides a comfortable thickness, although thicker foam and convoluted foam is available on request. The Pad can also be used without the foam inside it, depending on the person’s individual pressure care requirements.

When a Patient leans too far back in a chair, it can increase the pressure on the coccyx area and may also affect their breathing. This can be a particular issue for people with short legs. Using the Wool Wheelchair Pad with the foam inside as a Back Rest can help people sit upright, improving pressure care, posture and breathing.

WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR?

The Wool Wheelchair Pad is suitable for people who require a cushion for comfort.

CLEANING WARNING

Only use and store the product when it is dry.

Note: Please remember that, like sheepskin, this wool material can shed some fibre when it is cut. We try to remove any loose wool, but some may remain until the product has been washed a few times. We recommend washing the Wool Wheelchair Pad separately to prevent any fibres from sticking to other items in the washing machine or tumble dryer. After washing, shake the Pad to remove any loose fibre.
