In today’s healthcare environment, maintaining the highest standards of infection control is essential. At Forté Healthcare, we are committed to advancing patient safety and care through our market-leading medical mattress covers. These covers are engineered to provide unparalleled infection control, durability, and patient comfort, setting a new standard in healthcare.
Unmatched Protection and Durability
Forté Healthcare’s mattress covers are designed with advanced four-way stretch fabrics, offering superior flexibility and comfort. These covers are not only waterproof but also vapor permeable, allowing moisture to escape while maintaining a barrier against fluids. This unique combination helps prevent the buildup of contaminants, reducing the risk of mold and ensuring optimal foam performance.
Our covers are built to withstand the rigors of clinical environments, including exposure to cleaning agents with up to 10,000 ppm resistance. They meet and exceed clinical standards for infection control, ensuring that both patients and healthcare workers are protected at all times.
A Cover for Every Application
Understanding the diverse needs of healthcare environments, Forté offers a wide range of specialized fabrics and construction methods:
- Premiflex Brand: Known for its premium quality, ideal for acute care settings.
- Heavy-Duty Materials: Designed for demanding environments that require extra durability.
- Homecare Fabrics: Tailored for a more domestic care style.
For mental health environments, fully sealed covers provide additional protection, while high-frequency welded seams in other covers prevent fluid seepage, ensuring the highest level of infection control.
High Frequency Welding Technology
To meet stringent infection control requirements, every cover in a facility environment must feature high-frequency welded seams. Unlike traditional sewn seams, these high-frequency welded seams are 100% sealed, preventing the ingress of fluids and blocking potential infections. Forté’s covers are further reinforced with heavy-duty stitching at stress points, offering enhanced durability without compromising protection. This combination of welding and stitching ensures superior strength and infection control, building in redundancy for added safety.
Fabrics Made to Forté Specifications
Through close collaboration with clinicians and years of experience in medical support surfaces, Forté has developed fabrics to our unique specifications. These fabrics are designed specifically to meet Australian standards and the needs of diverse care environments, ensuring that every Forté cover is a market leader in infection control and patient care.
