Abstract: The pad is made of lambskin or sheepskin, that is, the whole hide including the skin proper and the wool fibers, with a holder strip fitted flat to the skin side and secured thereto. The holder strip is a sheet of fabric with a pair of spaced buttonholes therein. The shoulder strap is threaded through the buttonholes, and when the shoulder strap is applied to the shoulder of the wearer, the pad is disposed with the wool fibers down and engaging the shoulder.

Abstract: A removable protective cover to be fitted on the limb joints, such as the elbow and the heel of a patient. It forms a generally "L" shape interior with one portion fitted over the fore arm and a portion over the upper arm. It is made of lambskin, having the leather or skin side out receiving the abrasive action from the bed (or chair), in which the patient is confined, and the wool side in, in contact with the wearer's skin. It is secured in position by quick-detachable straps that can be easily manipulated by a semi-invalid. It is made in different sizes, for adults and children, and can be used on the heel as well as the elbow.
