Sheep Wool Knee Protector — Soft, Breathable Support for Healing Knees

1" Medical‑Density Merino Wool • Moisture‑Wicking • Infection‑Control Safe

The Sheep Wool Knee Protector is designed to open completely for effortless placement and secure comfortably with two adjustable Velcro straps. Made from 1" health‑density Merino sheep’s wool, it provides natural warmth, moisture control, and gentle cushioning, ideal for anyone recovering from surgery, managing joint pain, or protecting delicate skin.

Sheep’s wool naturally regulates temperature, helping muscles stay warm and relaxed. It absorbs 30–40% of its weight in moisture, releasing it into the air to prevent dampness, irritation, and bacterial growth. Its antimicrobial and antibacterial properties make it an excellent choice for fragile or healing skin.

Lightweight, breathable, and incredibly soft, this knee protector offers gentle support while allowing the skin to breathe and the body to heal. Part of our trusted line of sheep wool medical products and long‑term care wool products.

What Is Sheep Wool Fabric?

Our wool fabric is made from:

• Real wool fibres (sheared from the sheep)

• A soft nylon grid

• A medical‑grade acrylic stabilizer

The wool is “knitted” into the grid and stabilized to create a plush, breathable material that looks like sheepskin but without the hide. This makes it durable, washable, and ideal for medical use.

Care Instructions

• Machine wash on delicate in cool/lukewarm water (up to 70°C)

• Use wool soap with lanolin (e.g., Eucalan)

• Air dry or tumble with no heat

• Remove from dryer at 85% dry

• Spot clean with warm water Eucalan soap or disinfecting soap

• Avoid bleach, high heat, and direct sunlight

Wool is naturally antimicrobial and doesn’t require frequent washing.
