Why are PVC fabrics used for medical mattresses?

PVC fabrics, as materials for medical mattresses, can provide good waterproof, anti-bacterial, and easy-to-clean features, as well as good durability and chemical resistance. They are suitable for long-term use in medical environments. Hospital environments need to be kept clean, hygienic, and tidy.

The surface of medical mattresses needs to be cleaned and disinfected regularly. PVC fabrics are not easy to absorb liquids, so they are easy to clean and can effectively prevent the breeding of bacteria and viruses, reducing the risk of cross-infection. In addition, PVC fabrics are relatively tough and durable, which can ensure the longer lifespan of medical mattresses.

Moreover, for medical mattresses such as operation beds, rehabilitation beds, and operation room beds, they need to withstand the weight of medical staff and patients for a long time. PVC fabrics have good abrasion resistance and tensile strength, and can withstand long-term use and heavy pressure.
