Sheep Wool Palm Protector — Soft, Breathable Medical/Therapeutic Hand Support

1" Medical‑Density Wool • Moisture Absorption • Gentle Protection for Clenched or Fragile Hands

The Sheep Wool Palm Protector is a small, plush support designed to fit comfortably in the palm of the hand. It provides soft cushioning, natural moisture absorption, and gentle protection for individuals with clenched hands, limited mobility, muscle tightness, or fragile skin. Made from 1‑inch medical‑grade Merino wool, it helps prevent fingernails from digging into the palm, a common concern in stroke recovery, contractures, and long‑term care.

Wool naturally absorbs 30–40% of its weight in moisture, keeping the skin dry and reducing irritation. Its antimicrobial properties make it an excellent choice for delicate skin and pressure‑sensitive areas. Lightweight and easy to place, the palm protector offers breathable comfort throughout the day.

This product is part of our trusted line of therapeutic wool products and sheep wool medical products used in long‑term care, rehabilitation, and home‑care environments.

What Is Sheep Wool Fabric?

Our medical wool fabric is made from:

• Real wool fibres (sheared from the sheep)

• A soft nylon grid

• A medical‑grade acrylic stabilizer

This creates a plush, breathable material that looks like sheepskin,but without the hide, making it durable, washable, and ideal for health and wellness use. It is the same construction used in our long‑term care wool products and sheep wool medical products.
