Product Overview
With a wool length of approximately 25 mm, this luxurious rug has dense and springy wool fibres, which support the body and allow air to flow freely to the skin. This also helps regulate temperature, assisting in keeping the user cool in summer and warm in winter. The rug can absorb up to 30% of its weight in water without feeling wet. The rug is hand-trimmed for a natural shape and has a leather backing with a soft buffed suede finish. Available in an Ivory or a Gold colour, the rug measures approximately one metre long and over half a metre wide.
Pressure injury or pressure ulcers can occur when someone sits or lies for too long in one position without moving or shifting their weight. Blood vessels take oxygen and nutrients to every part of the body, including the skin. Constant pressure in one area means that blood and nutrients cannot reach the skin in this area. Tissue that is deprived of oxygen and other nutrients for even a short period of time will eventually die. This can lead to severe complications, and cause great pain and suffering to patients.
