Eastex Products, Inc. is introducing a broad line of waterproof and breathable fabrics, including bedbug-resistant fabrics, for OEMs and contract manufacturers of healthcare products such as wheelchair cushions, mattresses, and orthopedic braces.

Eastex Medical Fabrics include 100% polyester and polyester-nylon blends offered in several stretch and non-stretch constructions with different coatings to match specific product requirements. Waterproof and breathable, antimicrobial, flame-retardant, and air-tight for manufacturing inflatable products, these healthcare fabrics can be sewn and sonic- or RF welded.

Supplied as 54" to 60" rolls, Eastex's waterproof and breathable Medical Fabrics are offered in standard black and light and dark blue colors, with custom color matching optional. Total thickness, weight, tensile- and tear strength, and other properties vary with each version, including 2- or 4-way stretchability. An antimicrobial bedbug-resistant fabric for mattresses is also available.

Eastex Medical Fabrics are priced according to construction and quantity. Free evaluation samples and price quotations are available upon request.
