OSKA ® V-GUARD
V-GUARD Technology mattress covers are designed to provide comfort, being made from multi-stretch fabric.
V-GUARD Technology mattress covers are designed to provide comfort, being made from multi-stretch fabric. The breathable, moisture vapour properties of the V-Guard Technology help improve patient comfort. This also provides higher pressure care without compromising comfort, as any moisture under the skin in areas of increased pressure have reduced risk of ulcers.
V-GUARD Technology mattress covers incorporate infection control and antidecubitus characteristics. Our mattress covers provide an impenetrable barrier to viruses and bacteria. Being extremely easy to clean, they can be wiped down with warm water and mild detergent. If required, the cover can be machine washed for up to 95°C. Cleaned with chlorine-based chemicals the cover can stand up to 10,000 ppm concentration.
V-Guard Technology mattress covers are designed to significantly reduce pressure ulcers. Our formulations reduce friction and help disperse moisture, both of which are major contributing factors to the formation of pressure ulcers.
