Shear Comfort® is a range of advanced medical grade lamb’s wool products for skin care and foot care. They provide exceptional comfort, aid restful sleep and provide protection from pressure ulcers. This is as they utilize the natural properties of wool; distributing pressure, dissipating heat and water vapour, reducing friction and shear forces, whilst building on these to make them easy to wash and maintain, making it the perfect skin interface.

Shear Comfort® products incorporate Australian Medical Sheepskins, and Shear Comfort® XD1900, an innovative and advanced woven wool product that boasts an extra density of 1900gsm along with 30mm of pile. These are the only woven wool products able to achieve this level of density (typical woven wool products range from 300-500gsm), giving you the confidence that you are getting the best comfort and protection around.

Shear Comfort Overview

Intro to Shear Comfort XD1900

• Cost Effective: treatment of a single pressure ulcer costs AUD $1800 —AUD $17,500* depending on the stage of development, and can greatly extend a patients stay in care, yet this can be easily avoided by taking a preventative stand and using Shear Comfort® which can effectively avoid the onset of pressure ulcers at the first stage. *Bennet, G.

• Comfort: The properties of wool that make Shear Comfort® ideal for preventing skin ulcers and damage, also ensures superior comfort. Shear Comfort® products redistribute pressure, reduce shear and friction forces, wick perspiration away from the skin, and transfer heat, ensuring comfort whether on the move, in a chair, or in bed.
• Infection Control: All Shear Comfort® products can be washed repeatedly at 80°C, which is proven to kill bacteria, giving you confidence in using Shear Comfort® time and time again.
• Total Pressure Ulcer Prevention: Calling it a pressure ulcer doesn’t tell the whole story. Pressure is not the only factor, and many argue it’s not even the major factor, in pressure ulcer development. Shear Comfort® provides effective pressure redistribution, shear & friction reduction, as well as dissipating heat and absorbing moisture. That makes it an ideal product for tackling all external contributory factors to pressure ulcer development.
• 365 Days of Comfort: By effectively transferring heat, Shear Comfort® products allow for effective temperature regulation, providing welcome relief for people suffering from arthritis or poor circulation, whilst also keeping you cool and comfortable in the summer.
