ERGO MEDICAL TEXTILE

The definition of ‘no compromise’; the Dartex® MicroClimate Plus range combines high levels of breathability and chemical resistance; available on a 100% recycled fabric Now you can have everything you desire in one coated fabric: breathability AND durability is now possible thanks to Trelleborg. Combining the advanced chemical resistance properties of Dartex® Endurance with superior moisture vapour permeability of Dartex® MicroClimate, the bonus feature of this ground-breaking coated fabric is its availability on 100% recycled nylon. Higher levels of breathability leads to: • Less moisture at the skin / support surface interface • Increased patient comfort as the skin is dryer and cooler Keeping vulnerable skin cooler for longer could help reduce the occurrence of pressure ulcers. • Stretch & Recovery – essential for pressure redistribution and the prevention of avoidable pressure injuries • Easily cleaned – either wipe clean or machine washable.

Developed as a highly breathable yet durable range of coated fabrics, Dartex® MicroClimate has upwards of 20% moisture vapour transfer rate (MVTR) while remaining fully waterproof for patient comfort. Dartex® MicroClimate fabrics can be up to TEN TIMES more breathable than a standard polyurethane coating: Superior breathability – the special polyurethane coating, specifically designed to be one of the most breathable fabrics available for healthcare & medical applications, has been shown in laboratory testing to move moisture away quicker from the support surface interface1 Higher levels of breathability leads to: • Less moisture at the skin / support surface interface • Increased patient comfort as the skin is dryer and cooler Keeping vulnerable skin cooler for longer could help reduce the occurrence of pressure ulcers. • Stretch & Recovery – essential for pressure redistribution and the prevention of avoidable pressure injuries • Easily cleaned
