Securelle® and Lips - for greater Patient Well-being

Fire precautions are of crucial importance in situations where infirm and, in some cases, helpless people are involved. This is why textiles, bed linen, pillows, mattresses and filling materials used in sick rooms and other rooms where these people are cared for have to comply with certain regulations. Another important question is whether thorough cleaning of these materials is simple and inexpensive. Safety and hygiene are key factors affecting not only the state of health but also the general well-being of the patients, whilst cost-cutting opportunities are very satisfying for the management. Textile products made of Securelle® have proved their worth in this respect. Securelle® is a brand name for fire-resistive fabrics from ADVANSA, Europe's leading manufacturer of polyester. Securelle® fabrics are extremely versatile and can, for example, be used for curtains, drapes and furniture coverings, bed linen and other textiles. They are extremely safe, fulfilling the most important attainable European fire-resistance norms for polyester fibers, for example EN 13772 and EN 13773 (for decorative fabrics and curtains), EN 1021 (for furniture coverings), and EN 14533 (bed linen and bedding materials), as well as the similar regulations in force in other countries.
