Strikethrough Resistant Technology (SRT) is a polyurethane-coated specialist textile that has been developed in collaboration by Dartex and Invacare to offer unbeatable chemical and abrasion resistance for mattress covers in a medical setting.  Mattress life is extended and cover replacement costs at audit are vastly reduced. SRT ensures safe infection control for the patient and can make significant financial savings to a NHS Trust budget. 

The Maxxcare Pro Heel Boot has shown it can be an effective solution for wound healing, as its unique design allows for heel offloading. (NICE 2014).  The boot has shown excellent patient compliance and is used for both the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers.
