Rheine-based terry towelling manufacturer Dyckhoff is extending its range of Trevira Bioactive textiles for the hospital and care sectors. Following the introduction of hand towels and bathrobes in antimicrobial terry towelling qualities, the company can now supply antimicrobial bedding and reusable underlays for beds.
Reusable underlays in Trevira Bioactive
The underlay is made up of four layers in which the functions of the materials complement each other. The top side consists of Trevira Bioactive knitted towelling, which is both antimicrobial and kind to the skin. This is laminated with absorbent fleece, which serves to conduct liquids away from the body, to be absorbed by the fleece. It has the capacity to absorb six times its weight in moisture.
Underneath this is a PET membrane that acts as a barrier against moisture, but is at the same time permeable to air and steam. The result is that damp cannot build up beneath the underlay, and prevents any temperature block. The conductance performance of this layer is 4 l/m2 in 24 h (at 23°C. In addition, an underside in PET crepe stops the underlay from sliding on the mattress, providing a stable lying position.
The underlay is breathable and also watertight and impermeable to urine and blood. It can absorb liquids to 480 ml/m2. The reusable underlay comes in sizes 75 x 90 cm or can be made to measure.
Trevira Bioactive reusable underlays are economic to use. Due to their antimicrobial properties the underlays are not only hygienic, they are also hardwearing, can be boil washed and spin-dried, and offer clear cost benefits to the user compared with single-use articles.
Hygienic bedding and household textiles
The BIOACTIVE collection from Dyckhoff contains soft terry towelling bed covers, pillows and sheets in 48% Trevira Bioactive/52% cotton. Colours available are pale yellow, pale blue, terra cotta, cream and white. The bed covers can be supplied with hotel seals and come in three sizes (135/200, 155/200 und 155/220).
Dyckhoff also offer hand towels and bathrobes with antimicrobial Trevira fibres. The range includes hand towels (50/100), shower towels (70/140), sauna towels (70/200 cm) in white and ice blue. Other sizes can be made to order.
There is a demonstrably substantial cut in the growth of bacteria on textiles in Trevira Bioactive. In addition, the materials stop odours building up, so that they stay fresh even after use. The silver-based agent is firmly anchored in the fibre, with the result that the antimicrobial effect of towelling in Trevira Bioactive remains unaffected even after 100 wash cycles.
Yarns used by Dyckhoff are certified to the Belcoro Standard, so that textiles stay soft, fleecy and absorbent even after washing. They are fast to wash and rub, dimensionally stable and carry the Oeko-Tex Certificate. |
