Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hello, Thanks for your query. Carefully follow your schedule for turning and repositioning — approximately every two hours when you're in bed. If you're unable to change position on your own, a family member or other caregiver must be able to help. Using sheepskin or other padding help to prevent friction when you move. There are special cushions, pads, mattresses and beds that relieve pressure. The most effective support depends on many factors, including your level of mobility, your body build and the severity of your wound. No one support surface is appropriate for all people or all situations. In general, protective padding such as sheepskin isn't thick enough to reduce pressure, but it's helpful for separating parts of your body and preventing friction damage. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
