Skin-safe, durable coated textiles for use in the manufacture of ambulatory and pneumatic tourniquets. Tourniquets are non-invasive medical devices that are used on patient limbs to restrict blood flow in a specific area in order to achieve a bloodless surgical field. A tourniquet often has tubing inserted to allow air to pass through, which inflates the cuff and restricts the blood flow. There will also be a plastic insert used to give the cuff strength. Types of cuff are: Ambulatory Tourniquet The key feature of this cuff is that there should be no air loss within the system, as high pressure is required to ensure the patient has the best possible chance of surviving transport. Pneumatic Tourniquet / Surgical Tourniquet These can be single or dual-bladder cuffs designed to create a bloodless surgical field by applying pressure to blood flow in a limb. They are used during surgical procedures, quite often for orthopedic surgery, such as knee replacements.

Skin-safe, durable coated textiles for use in the manufacture of reusable blood pressure cuffs. Blood Pressure Cuffs (BP Cuffs) form an essential component of a sphygmomanometer, or blood pressure monitoring device. When attached to the patient’s arm, the cuff needs to be easily inflatable to collapse and then release the artery in a controlled manner in order to accurately measure blood pressure. Trelleborg Engineered Coated Fabrics manufactures coated fabric for: • External cuff – hook and loop compatible • Internal bladder – air holding fabric to allow easy inflation We can manufacture in a range of colors and widths to help differentiate your product range; as well as allowing different size cuffs for varying patient requirements.

A range of polyurethane coated fabrics for use in the manufacture of support surface air cells and bladders. Trelleborg Engineered Coated Fabrics manufactures a variety of polyurethane coated fabrics, polyurethane coated scrims and polyurethane films at a range of thicknesses that can be slit to width as required. Alongside traditional coated fabrics, the range includes fully transparent or pigmented polyurethane which can be reinforced with ripstop nylon scrims or textile backings. This manufacturing process provides the strength and durability required for repeated inflation and deflation cycles in a load-bearing application. Coatings are pin-hole free; essential in airholding applications for medical products. Applications include: • Air bladders • Air cells for support surfaces • Inflatable cushions

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.
