Medical Mattresses
Rivertex offers a balanced range of materials that provide comfort and protection for medical mattress covers. These mattresses reduce pressure and help prevent bedsores for bed bound patients. Key features of the RiverMed™ mattress cover range include fire resistance, anti-bacterial, breathability and stability in high temperature washing.

Patient Movement and Mobility
Patient comfort and care are at the heart of all mobility materials offered by Rivertex; applications including lifting, moving & patient transfer require high levels of testing & certification. Rivertex has developed a range of fabrics that meet these requirements include sliding blankets, stretchers and slings.

Upholstery

The surface treatment of organic silicones makes the product resistant to stains, improves the UV resistance and increases the abrasion resistance. The product is flame-resistant, antibacterial and contains no harmful additives. This makes it very suitable for various medical applications.
