Specifies requirements for tanned sheepskins and lambskins to be used to minimize the incidence, severity and duration of pressure ulcers.

This Standard specifies requirements for woolskins (tanned sheepskins and lambskins) for health care, medical and institutional uses. These are used to minimize the incidence, severity and duration of pressure ulcers by decreasing friction, pressure and humidity at the points of contact between a patient and the support surface (e.g. bed or chair).
