An innovative concept for medical support surfaces, Dartex® Zoned Coatings by Trelleborg allows different areas of the support surface to perform multiple functions on a single cover. Is this the ultimate medical support surface? The support surface cover is ‘zoned’ to create specific areas of functionality in conjunction with targeted areas of the mattress core. Multiple ‘zoning’ combinations are possible, depending on the end use of the mattress. Coating options include: • Abrasion resistance to protect against mechanical damage • Chemical resistance for durability and long lifetime • High, Low or Easy Stretch fabric options available: • High friction / low slip for improved patient and mattress handling • Highly breathable for patient comfort • Low friction / high slip for improved patient and mattress handling • Static dissipation for operating rooms • Use Zoned Coatings process to change the stretch properties within each zone • Need something different?

For accurate color matching and consistency across multiple runs, Trelleborg Engineered Coated Fabrics works with the very best ink technology to ensure your printed support surface cover looks great and performs well. REVOLUTIONARY PRINT PROCESS • Innovative, no-odor ink that does not crack when stretched • Withstands harsh chemical cleaning • No impact on FR performance • Biocompatibility tested • Unlimited color options – 5 color print process NO NEED FOR SCREEN PRINTING • Abrasion resistant ink • Washable • Significantly more breathable than screen printing • Low coefficient of friction (CoF). COSTS Make significant cost savings as the fabric roll manufacture and printing take place at same location

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
