Support Surfaces - Base

Choosing a breathable, durable polyurethane-coated base ticking for your support surface is just as important as choosing a stretchy, pressure redistributing top cover. Trellelborg Engineered Coated Fabrics’ range of base ticking materials work in harmony with our top covers to provide the ultimate support surface. HIGH SLIP Low friction coating designed for ease of support surface movement. Use for: • Fall prevention • Easy transfer Designed to work with standard hospital beds to allow ease of movement between support surface and bed frame when the bed is articulating. Easy to slide mattress on and off bed frame. Manufactured in the UK and USA, Trelleborg Engineered Coated Fabrics are: •PVC Free/Latex Free/Phthalate Free/Halogen Free FR •REACH & RoHS compliant •BS EN ISO 9001:2015 (FM 14842) certified •BS EN ISO 14001:2015 (SE006995) certified

The Dartex® Endurance range was specifically engineered to withstand harsh chemical cleaning. With its exceptional lifetime, is this the toughest healthcare fabric in the world? CHEMICALLY RESISTANT The special polyurethane coating, specifically designed to resist chemical attack has been proven in case studies to lead to a 10-fold reduction in failure rate as a result of coating deterioration (27% to 1.9%). Better chemical resistance leads to: • reduced risk of hospital acquired infections • increased lifetime value of the mattress • lower mattress replacement rate, which in turn greatly speeds up and simplifies the process of auditing mattresses. BREATHABILITY The moisture vapour transmission (MVT) properties of PU keeps skin cool and dry, unlike PVC which doesn’t ‘breathe’ STRETCH & RECOVERY Essential for pressure redistribution and the prevention of avoidable pressure injuries EASILY CLEANED Either wipe clean or machine washable APPLICATIONS.

The Dartex® Conductive range is widely used for applications where the prevention of static build-up is crucial, such as x-ray tables, medical scanners and operating theatres. The Dartex® Conductive range is designed with anti-static technology and tested for electrical resistance to BS2040/A.4.1. • Dissapates static build-up from medical diagnostic equipment, e.g. scanners and x-rays • Suitable for use in operating theatres • Maintains anti-static properties for the lifetime of the product Breathability – the moisture vapor transmission (MVT) properties of PU keeps skin cool and dry, unlike PVC which doesn’t ‘breathe’ Stretch & Recovery – essential for pressure redistribution and the prevention of avoidable pressure injuries Easily cleaned – either wipe clean or machine washable. Manufactured in the UK and USA, Trelleborg Engineered Coated Fabrics are: •PVC Free/Latex Free/Phthalate Free/Halogen Free FR •REACH & RoHS compliant

Introducing sensing solutions for medical support surfaces from Dartex®. This innovative technology developed exclusively for use with Dartex® coated textiles, offers multiple sensing solutions for monitoring the patient condition in real time. Utilizing the latest knitting technologies, the sensors are woven into the textile and protected with industry trusted Dartex® polyurethane. When integrated with the bed system, vulnerable pressure points can be monitored and the sensors alert the patient and/or carer to reposition, either physically or mechanically. This eliminates the need for unnecessary interventions by the caregiver. Sensors can be configured to monitor; incontinence, humidity, movement, pressure and more… KEY BENEFITS • All key support surface properties maintained – functions as a support surface for avoidable pressure injury prevention • Eliminates the need for additional medical devices • No additional layers between patient and support surface
