Product Description

The DEKUBILAX sheepskin wheelchair cushion cover for orthopaedic wheelchair cushions provides comfort & protection for sensitive skin. This high-quality sheepskin wheelchair cushion cover has been specially designed for orthopaedic wheelchair seat cushions, combining enhanced sitting comfort with practical skin protection. The natural sheepskin helps regulate temperature – keeping you warm in cold conditions and cool in warmer temperatures – while helping to prevent pressure points and maintain a pleasantly dry sitting environment.

Sheepskin Wheelchair Cushion Cover for Pressure Ulcer Prevention

Thanks to its soft, pressure-distributing structure, sheepskin can support pressure ulcer prevention and can also be used as supplementary support when a pressure ulcer is already present. Friction and pressure points are reduced, helping to relieve and protect the skin – particularly during prolonged periods of sitting in a wheelchair.

Alongside its functional benefits, the DEKUBILAX sheepskin wheelchair cushion cover is also highly suitable for hygienic everyday use: thanks to its specially tanned sheepskin, it is washable at 60 °C, making it ideal for daily use at home and in professional care settings.

Material & Quality

This makes the cover easy to care for, hygienic and practical for everyday use. It adds the natural benefits of genuine sheepskin to an orthopaedic wheelchair seat cushion – for greater comfort in everyday life.

Sheepskin Wheelchair Cushion Cover and Health Insurance

Many wheelchair users rely on specialist seat cushions to improve sitting comfort, relieve pressure on specific areas of the body and help prevent pressure ulcers. Depending on individual needs, such orthopaedic cushions may be provided or partly funded by health insurance. The sheepskin cover simply slips over the cushion, adding the comfortable natural properties of genuine sheepskin. It fits wheelchair cushions up to 40 × 40 cm and can be fitted quickly and easily thanks to its elasticated edge.

The sheepskin wheelchair cushion cover is ideal for anyone looking to add an especially soft, skin-friendly cover to their orthopaedic wheelchair seat cushion.

Info: In Germany, health insurance may cover the cost of a medically necessary seat cushion, for example for pressure relief, pressure ulcer prevention or an existing pressure ulcer. The sheepskin cover is an ideal addition to suitable cushions measuring up to 40 × 40 cm.

Care Hints

Do not wash too often! Lambskin is self-cleaning, dirt-repellent and easy to care for.

General care

  • Use a lambskin brush for regular grooming.
  • Brush and fluff regularly for a soft, fluffy sheepskin.
  • For light stains: Brush the sheepskin thoroughly (moisten the area slightly beforehand).
  • Regular ventilate - ideally in misty weather or snow for several hours. The lambskin may get damp, but the leather must not get wet!

Wash in the washing machine at 30 °C

  • As rarely as possible!
  • Recommended: Hand wash or wool/hand wash programme in the washing machine (cold or max. 30°C, max. 600 rotations).
  • Only use special lambskin shampoo.

Drying:

  • Spread the lambskin footmuff out flat in an airy place (e.g. drying rack on the balcony).
  • Brush through the still damp footmuff, knead it and pull it into shape.
  • Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (e.g. heating).
  • Do not dry in tumble dryer!
