      ABSTRACT. Hides, skins and woolen skins are valuable natural materials which can be processed to be biocompatible, non-toxic, long-lasting end products intended for anti-sore devices used in post-surgical treatment, and linings in the orthopedic shoes. The products resulted from environmentally friendly processes were tested for their physicalmechanical characteristics and residues of toxic substances, and the results complied with EU regulations in force. They were tested in making medicinal devices and orthopedic shoes, and also in hospitals.
