Bedsores can be prevented albeit an old fashion way.....

I was talking to several people the other day about bedsore prevention and this is an issue for the elderly especially those who are bed ridden. It was odd to think of it as a potential legal issue but hospices and senior living homes have some level of responsibility to care for their clients. When you are younger and things are not starring you in the face such as bedsores, you probably do not think much of it....out of sight out of mind. It is a very painful and uncomfortable disease to deal with, and prevention is really better than cure.

For years "tanned woolly sheepskins" have been used to assist with the prevention of bedsores. Bowron has been a manufacturer of medical sheepskins for years and whilst it is somewhat perceived to be an older method for prevention, it works. Why? Tanned woolly sheepskins are 100% natural. The human body react's better to natural substances especially in this case where the wool is there to regulate body temperature. It absorbs moisture such as perspiration from the body and releases it back into the air. This enables a static body to have better air circulation and a more even body temperature. The magical part of this is how the tanned woolly sheepskin allows the body to be kept warm in winter but also cool in the summer. No wonder we don't see grumpy sheep in the paddocks during the hottest summers - I haven't, have you?

Bowron supply a limited number of very high quality medical sheepskins to the world market. These tanned woolly sheepskins are carefully selected and can be used on the bed, regular chair or wheelchair. For more information on where to buy this traditional but functional product, talk to your local Bowron office in your region. For more information go to http://www.bowron.com/medical.html
