Medical Upholstery

Do you own a medical practice? Are you worried about how to maintain your facility so it stays clean and safe for practice? Clean and most importantly, sterile medical furniture is a significant part of running a successful facility. Controlling contaminants in medical upholstery should be considered one of your top priorities for medical management, because it’s crucial to the health of the patients and employees. Not to mention, it prolongs the furnishing’s life.

It’s no secret that the quality of medical upholstery and its maintenance lies within the right textiles. In general, synthetic fibers are said to be more resilient and less likely to sustain damage than natural fibers. If you’re trying to select the right upholstery fabrics for your medical facilities, watch the video below to find out what materials you should consider.

3 Reasons to Invest in Professional Medical Upholstery

by

As medical employees, you probably already know the importance of investing in professional medical upholstery. Whether you work at a hospital or a dentist office, you’re most likely dealing with many patients every single day. This is one of the main reasons why it’s crucial that the furniture people sit on all the time can endure heavy usage.

Another reason why your business should invest in medical upholstery is the cleaning routine. Furniture at hospitals and other medical facilities endure a lot of usage on daily basis, which can cause the upholstery to fade or become discolored if not maintained properly. Having a proper cleaning routine established will ensure your furniture will look, feel, and retain its quality much longer. Not to mention, it will keep up with all of the sanitary standards!

Let’s not forget about comfort. As soon as your patients walk into the room, you should make them feel comfortable and safe. If the furniture at your facility is outdated or does not mirror the highest standards, it might be time to hire professionals to update the medical upholstery for you.

Pros and Cons of Using Vinyl in Medical Upholstery

by

Pros and Cons of Using Vinyl in Medical Upholstery
Working in Medical Upholstery for over two decades, we often get asked what are the best materials to use for the furniture at a healthcare establishment. Since there’s usually many things that we take into consideration for each job, we decided to break it down and share the pros and cons of using one of the most popular upholstery materials – vinyl.

Advantages of Using Vinyl in Medical Upholstery:

  1. Cost-effective – One of the most affordable upholstery materials.
  2. Easy to Clean – Any spills can be easily cleaned with a simple soap and water solution.
  3. Long-lasting – Maintained properly (away from the heat), vinyl remains a strong and stain-resistant surface.
  4. Sanitary surface – Many vinyl materials are designed to prevent growth for potentially harmful mold and bacteria.

Disadvantages of Using Vinyl in Medical Upholstery:

  1. Not attractive – Vinyl is considered to give an institutional feel rather than comfort.
  2. Chemical emission – Vinyl materials that are based on traditional PVC are considered the most toxic.
  3. Difficult to repair – Any tear will have to be patched, and there’s no way to avoid seeing the work.
  4. Poor ventilation – Vinyl is rather stiff and tends to stick to bare skin.

 

As you can see, there are many things to consider when choosing vinyl as your cover material for medical upholstery. Before making your final decision, we highly recommend checking out these two articles on How to Properly Select the Right Cover Materials as well as The Best Cleaning Practices you should know regarding medical upholstery.
