The BackgroundBackground
Vinyl upholstery is a common material used in the production of many soft surfaces in healthcare, including wheelchairs, examination tables and geriatric chairs. Healthcare assessments have revealed that vinyl is frequently damaged in many facilities today, ranging from small punctures to extensive cracking. Current solutions to address this problem include purchasing new equipment, which is expensive, and reupholstery, which is inconvenient.
CleanPatch®-V is the first Health Canada and FDA registered Class 1 medical device specifically designed to restore damaged vinyl upholstery to an intact and hygienic state. CleanPatch®-V has been extensively tested.
The ProblemProblem
Proper Usage
Vinyl equipment is easily damaged from daily wear and tear, and it is important to repair damage quickly. When vinyl is damaged, it cannot be properly disinfected and may harbor dangerous pathogens, increasing the risk of HAIs among patients.
Until now, there was no safe solution for repairing damaged vinyl. CleanPatch®-V is designed to repair damage quickly, easily and safely — and for a fraction of the cost of replacement.
CleanPatch®-V should only be used in the following vinyl upholstery cases:
- Abrasions
- Tears / Cuts
- Punctures
- Flat Areas < 6″ (15cm)
- Over an Edge (two sides only, no seams or corners)
- Previously taped
To properly maintain the integrity of the CleanPatch®-V, DO NOT CUT.
Not Recommend Usage
CleanPatch®-V is not right for all mattress damage. It is highly recommended that CleanPatch®-V is not used in the following case and instead the vinyl surfaces should be replaced.
- Sign of Fluid Ingress or Contamination
- Excessive Cracking
- Tears / Cuts > 6″ (15cm)
- Previously CleanPatch applied
- Over Seams
- Corners (all three sides)
