Healthcare/Institutional materials: Anti-bacterial, Anti-fungal Fabrics CPU - 150 Health Care Ticking CPU - 150 Health Care Ticking is a textile solution for a serious design challenge: how to make a cushioning surface that supports without increasing interface pressures. What is needed is a textile product that conforms to the shape of the supported item, acting almost as if it is not there at all! However, when it comes to this shape, it must have the ability to return to its original condition and shape. The ability to stretch without recovery creates the potential for "hammocking" and the reduction in product life. Our highly successful CPU line of stretchable fabrics is now extended into a heavier weight product (CPU - 150 ULTRA) specially designed for low air loss, static air, and foam systems for mattresses, wheelchair cushions, and positioners. The product is a result of our continuing research into the specialized markets for mattress replacement systems and seating products that are sold into the acute and long term health care markets. Our product is specially designed to help reduce interface pressure in conjunction with today's latest state of the art designs to help prevent decubitus ulcers. The product is moisture resistant, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and breathable - meaning moisture vapor can pass through the fabric making the patient more comfortable with less heat buildup! STAFTEX # PUN 27 This 210 Denier Oxford Polyurethane Coated nylon fabric is very popular on medium priced pressure relief mattresses. An excellent replacement for vinyl on University Housing Mattresses - less "sweating" and heat buildup! Historically in the University Housing market there has been a difficult tradeoff for housing officers to make when purchasing mattresses. They often had to choose between a tremendously uncomfortable but cleanable vinyl fabric and a more comfortable but staining regular fabric. Finally, there is a solution to this dilemma - STAFTEX # PUN 27. This revolutionary fabric has been in use in hospitals for many years as a covering fabric for pressure reduction beds, an application where the comfort of the patient is highly critical. However, the fabric is still cleanable, can be disinfected, anti-microbial, anti-fungal (mold and mildew), and has a wonderful feel. The fabric is often used with the coated surface facing downward, protecting the inner components from blood, urine, and moisture, allowing the nylon fabric side to face the student, giving them a greater sense of comfort. Most universities have faced the quandary of either having to live with student complaints about how "hot and uncomfortable" their mattresses are, or face hostile parents at move-in day to the horrible staining that traditional fabrics cannot control. SOFlux PU A 70 Denier Taffeta polyurethane coated nylon in the best choice for healthcare pillows. Combines a soft hand with anti-bacterial and moisture barrier protection. Widely used as an alternative to vinyl under contract upholstery fabrics. Does not exhibit "plasticizer migration" or cracking like vinyl does over time. STAFTEX # PUN 27 TPU Heat sealable nylons with Thermal Plastic Urethane coatings. Used to produce air holding bladders in many medical applications. STAFTEX # RNN 71 FR The most widely used butyl rubber coated nylon fabric in Health Care and University Housing settings. Ideal for products where Low Vapor Transmission is essential. This product is also anti-bacterial and anti-fungal as well as being soft and flexible. RNN 71 FR will not crack like vinyl. |
