TRELLEB ORG ENGINE ER E D COAT ED FAB R I CS Fact Sheet: Smart Textiles 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. How does it work? 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 – sensors encased in the construction of the fabric • Manufacturing process fully industrialized • Technology compatible with every Dartex® coating option. Advanced chemical resistance For increased lifetime of support surface Anti-Microbial Tested to AATCC Test Method 30 (Aspergillus niger) and ISO 22196 (k. pneumoniae) Bio-compatibility (ISO10993-5) Cytotoxicity = < Grade 1 (ISO10993-10) Skin Irritation – classed as non-irritant; Skin Sensitisation – considered to be non-sensitiser Eco flame retardant: Crib 5 CAL 117 BS7175, sources 0, 1, 5 conforms when when used with a suitable combustion modified foam CTB117-2013 – Class B Fungistatic Contains an anti-fungal / antimicrobial agent to control microbial deterioration; The products do not contain any nano materials Recommended cleaning Always follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions.
