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
