"H" Cloth is a high-heat polyester that withstands temperatures up to 200°. This material is often preferred where high heat laundry processes are used.
|
"C" cloth is a cool-heat cotton and polyester blend that withstands temperatures up to 167°. Has a non-absorbent coating on one side for easy spot cleaning. It is suitable for leaving under a patient for extended periods because of the poly-cotton blend. |
| Bathing Mesh is a polyester material used for bathing and cases where a breathable material is desired. |
Disposable material is used to help with infection control and cross contamination issues. Also known as patient specific, it can be reused with a single patient until it is soiled or wet. It is cloth, not paper. It may be spot cleaned with a mild solution that will not irritate the skin. It can also be laundered to eliminate contamination, but should not be used with a patient after laundering. |
