PVC Coated Fabric for Medical Stretchers

Introduction

Medical stretchers are crucial equipment during medical emergency rescue and medical transportation. You may be looking for high-quality stretcher materials that can both ensure patient safety and reduce hospital operating costs. And PVC Coated Fabric is the most excellent material for medical stretchers. This article will conduct an in-depth analysis of the core advantages of PVC-coated fabrics in medical stretchers, hoping to help you understand this material.

Why do medical stretchers need high-performance materials?

Medical stretchers come into direct contact with patients' bodies, so their materials must meet the requirements of safety, hygiene and comfort. Although the combination of traditional materials such as metal frames and canvas has a relatively low cost, it has obvious shortcomings in terms of antibacterial properties and water resistance. PVC coated fabrics can effectively block blood and body fluids and prevent cross-infection. Its surface is smooth and will not rub against the patient's skin.

The advantages of PVC coated fabric

Waterproof and impermeable: The PVC coating forms a dense protective layer that can completely block the penetration of liquids (including blood, disinfectants, etc.), preventing the internal materials of the stretcher from being contaminated.

Antibacterial treatment: By adding antibacterial agents such as silver ions, the antibacterial rate can reach over 99%, meeting medical-grade hygiene standards.

High tear resistance: The base fabric is woven from polyester fibers, with a tensile strength of over 4000N/5cm. Even when carrying overweight patients, it will not crack.

Chemical resistance: It has strong resistance to common disinfectants such as alcohol and iodophor, and does not fade or deform after repeated wiping.

Excellent wear resistance: With a low surface friction coefficient, it can withstand over 100,000 cleaning cycle tests and has a service life of more than 5 years.

Wide temperature resistance range: It maintains flexibility in an environment from -40℃ to +100℃, meeting the usage requirements of different climatic regions.

Surface touch optimization: By using embossing technology to increase friction, it prevents patients from sliding and reduces the sticky feeling of skin contact at the same time.

Color customization: We offer a variety of medical-specific color series such as blue, green, and white, facilitating the classification and management of departments.

Conclusion

Medical stretchers made of PVC-coated fabric are not merely basic medical devices; they represent a strategic investment in medical quality and patient experience. PVC coated fabric is a cost-effective material that truly meets the needs of modern medical care.
