MIP adds washable wheelchair pad to continence care range to give users added confidence
Healthcare textile company MIP UK has announced the launch of a new wheelchair pad to its existing Aurorra Chair Pads and Floor Pad range.
Available in blue and maroon, the Aurorra Pad consists of three layers, each layer designed for a specific function. The top layer features a quilted material with stain release properties.
The middle layer is an absorbent soaker layer and the PVC fluid-proof bottom layer safeguards furniture or a wheelchair from leaks. The textured bottom surface ensures these pads stay securely in place.
Steve Gould, Sales Director for MIP UK, commented: “This expansion to our popular Aurorra Chair Pad Range will allow users to discreetly place the pad on their wheelchair for added confidence and protection.”
Aurorra is a synthetic fabric that has been tried and tested within healthcare and used in a variety of textile application such as bed pads and chair pads.
The pads feature a warp knit construction, ensuring great comfort to the user. Additional features of the warp knitting include anti-snagging and anti-abrasion properties, this significantly prolongs the lifespan of the pads due to its enhanced durability.
Its fabric is specifically engineered to withstand high temperature washing, a common requirement for continence care products. Its robust nature minimises shrinkage risks and helps it maintain its original shape over numerous wash cycles, making it a cost-effective choice for both individuals and organisations within healthcare.
Aurorra fabric dries quickly compared to natural fabrics. This not only reduces drying time but also leads to significant energy savings during the textile drying process.
MIP UK sell a broad range of textile products to large and small laundries, distributors, hospitals and long-term care facilities all over the UK. Last year, the firm announced pivotal changes within its leadership team, which it stated, underlined the company’s commitment to growth and innovation.
