Wool Elbow Protectors (Pair)

The Wool Elbow Protectors are designed to provide comfort, support and prevent rubbing on the elbow. These elbow protectors are made with a medical grade lambswool that will remain cool in summer and warm in winter. 
 
They are designed for comfort and convenience. The padded Velcro fasteners on the elbow protectors create a gentle protective layer under the elbow to relieve pressure and make it easier to put on and take off.
 
The elbow protector’s aim is to provide pressure relief on the elbow so they are resilient and springy to evenly distribute weight and relieve pressure points. These lambswool protectors will help prevent friction and tearing of the skin, the build up of surface moisture and reduce pressure, which are all causes of bed sores.

They can be washed on a wool setting and tumble dried on a cool/cold setting.
