Materials

Polyurethane coated-textiles provide hard-wearing covers for pressure relief support surfaces. The materials have excellent stretch properties, making the formation of folds highly unlikely, so that the risk of the development of pressure sores is greatly reduced. The fabric used is also breathable and soft, making it comfortable and pleasant to touch as well as waterproof.

The seams, which are high-frequency welded, are also fluid proof, providing additional protection against ingress.

This combination of waterproof materials with welded seams makes SupaSupport impermeable to body fluids and offers complete protection of the cushion.

In addition, the materials used to manufacture SupaSupport products are free from PVC, making them environmentally - friendly and therefore requiring no special disposal procedures.

Cleaning

SupaSupport welded covers can be wiped down with a mild detergent*.

SupsaSupport zipped covers are washable and will stand temperatures up to 60oC and are tumbler resistant*. They are reusable, have a long life and are therefore extremely cost-effective.

SupaSupport products are easy to clean and disinfect making it perfect for any environment.
