Skil-Care Synthetic Sheepskin Pressure Redistribution Bed Pad (30-Foot Continuous Bulk Roll)
The Skil-Care Synthetic Sheepskin Pressure Redistribution Bed Pad Roll is a high-efficiency bedding utility engineered to reduce shear, minimize friction, and alleviate pressure for long-term bed-bound individuals. Shipped as a massive, continuous 30-foot commercial bulk roll, this product allows facilities or home caregivers to custom-cut specific padding lengths tailored to mattresses, geri-chairs, recliners, or wheelchair seating tracks. By introducing a highly resilient, low-friction top surface, it provides vital protection against skin breakdown and pressure sore development while serving as a defensive barrier to preserve underlying mattresses.
Design & Functional Features
- Continuous 30-Foot Bulk Roll: Offers a customizable workspace that can be measured and cut with standard shears to create perfect individual overlays for standard hospital beds, exam tables, or specialized seating cushions.
- Friction-Reducing Pile Layout: Formulated with ultra-soft, densely woven synthetic fibers that allow the individual to slide smoothly over the material, significantly limiting the skin-damaging shear forces caused by frequent repositioning.
- Passive Micro-Climate Ventilation: Designed with a porous weave architecture that facilitates continuous airflow beneath the individual, dissipating heat and moisture buildup to keep skin cool and dry.
- Multi-Layered Protection: Works as a dual-purpose barrier that shields sensitive bony prominences from pressure spikes while capturing minor fluids to prevent mattress soiling and staining.
Product Specifications & Identification
Important Product Characteristics
- Commercial-Grade Launderability: Engineered to withstand rigorous institutional sanitization cycles without shedding or thinning out. The cut padding can be machine washed and tumble dried at high temperatures up to 180°F. Bleaching is not recommended.
- Custom Sized Versatility: Perfect for outfitting high-risk contact areas. Caregivers can cut small squares to pad side bed rails, fashion custom wheelchair liners, or create extended full-body overlays for long-term bariatric beds.
- Placement Guidelines: Lay the cut piece flat over the mattress sheet with the soft fleece pile facing upward, directly contacting the individual's skin or gown. Ensure the material is pulled smooth and free of wrinkles before use to prevent alternative pressure points.
