Fact Sheet-Resilience

The Dartex® Resilience range is engineered to provide a low friction surface. Ideally suited for patient transfer applications, it is also often used as base tickings.

Key benefits

Abrasion Resistant – the special low friction polyurethane coating is specifically designed to allow easy patient transfer across the support surface.

Better abrasion resistance leads to:

• lower instances of mechanical damage, for example caused by clothing, buckles and general patient transportation
• lower mattress replacement rate, which in turn greatly speeds up and simplifies the process of auditing mattresses.
• Lower friction – a secondary benefit of the Resilience coating is that it provides a lower friction surface, which can help to:
  • reduce the risk of shear stress on vulnerable skin
  • improve pressure redistribution through immersion and envelopment
