GORE-TEX^® Medical Fabric

The ideal material for managing the skin’s microclimate

How does GORE-TEX® Medical Fabric manage the skin’s microclimate?
 

• High MVTR to prevent skin maceration
• Waterproof to reduce contamination of mattress
• Bacterial barrier to help prevent infection

Air flows through GORE-TEX^® Medical Fabric, at a controlled rate, removing excess moisture and maintaining a constant skin temperature, whilst preventing bacterial contamination.

Provides a consistent bacterial barrier to 0.2 mic particle size.

• Passed ‘Brevundimonas Diminuta retention by membrane filter' modified HIMA 838 test by Nelson Labs
• Aerosol Filtration Efficiency Test Results: 99.9999% at 0.2 mic particle size per TSI 8160 Automated filter Tester
• Passed ‘Modified ASTM Method F1671 for Bacterial Penetration’ using Staphylococcus aureus bacteria challenge
