Vinyl (PVC) plays a vital role in supporting hygiene, comfort, and durability across hospital beds, clinic furniture, and patient care surfaces. Its waterproof, stain-resistant, and easy-to-clean qualities make it ideal for healthcare environments that require stringent infection control and high wear resistance.
From coated mattress covers and dental chairs to stretcher pads and seating in waiting areas, vinyl provides a cost-effective, long-lasting solution for healthcare interiors. It is widely used in hospitals, ambulances, clinics, and care homes around the world.
Key Applications of Windows & Doors
Mattress Covers
PVC-coated hospital mattress covers are waterproof, hygienic, and highly durable, supporting infection control and patient comfort. Vinyl is also the only material used for medical waterbed mattresses, commonly applied in home care and therapeutic settings.
Medical Furniture
Vinyl upholstery is used in clinic beds, treatment chairs, dental chairs, examination tables, and scanner tables, offering resistance to stains, moisture, and abrasion while maintaining a soft, supportive surface.
Ambulance Stretchers & Padding
Stretchers and cushions in ambulances rely on PVC upholstery for reliable performance under intensive use. Vinyl ensures cleanability, resilience, and comfort during transport.
Visitor Seating & Waiting Areas
In waiting rooms and public hospital zones, vinyl-coated seating provides long-lasting comfort and easy maintenance, supporting a hygienic environment for staff, patients, and families.
Waterbed Mattresses
PVC is the only material capable of reliably containing water in medical waterbed mattresses. That is why it is exclusively used in these specialised beds, which are widely applied in therapy, rehabilitation, hospitals, and home care. Waterbed mattresses made from PVC offer effective pressure relief, promote healthy circulation, and help prevent pressure ulcers–especially for patients with limited mobility or chronic conditions.
