Severe Swelling Boot — Deep, Roomy Medical/Therapeutic Protection

Full‑Opening Design • 1" Medical‑Density Wool • Maximum Space for Swelling & Dressings

The Severe Swelling Boot provides deep, roomy protection for individuals who need maximum space, full opening access, and gentle off‑loading for swollen feet, large dressings, or fragile post‑surgical skin. Made from 1" medical‑density Merino wool fabric, this boot delivers the same clinically trusted benefits found in our medical sheepskin and therapeutic wool products, without the hide.

Designed for severe swelling, bulky bandages, and vulnerable skin, the boot offers breathable warmth, moisture control, and soft cushioning from heel to toe. It is widely used in long‑term care wool products programs, home‑care environments, and rehabilitation settings where comfort and skin integrity are essential.

Sheep’s wool naturally regulates temperature, helping muscles stay warm and relaxed. As moisture‑wicking medical wool, it absorbs up to 30–40% of its weight in moisture and releases it into the air, preventing dampness, irritation, and bacterial growth. These properties make it ideal for individuals with restricted mobility or wool for fragile skin needs.

The boot opens completely, allowing the foot to step directly into the system, ideal for caregivers and for those who cannot tolerate narrow openings or pressure. The deep, roomy toe box accommodates swelling and sensitive toes, while the rubber sole allows for safe transfers and light walking.

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

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

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, remaining moisture evaporates naturally

• Spot clean with warm water (up to 70°C) and disinfecting soap if needed

• Avoid bleach, high heat, and direct sunlight

Wool is naturally antimicrobial and does not require frequent washing. To freshen, hang outside in moist air (out of sunlight); the wool will release moisture and self‑refresh.
