Let us know you want your coated webbings to be Radio Frequency (RF) welded to prevent potentially infectious blood and body fluids from being trapped. 

Sewing can compromise the webbing’s surface, increasing the likelihood that infectious blood and body fluids will be trapped on the webbing. With RF welding, however, secure attachment points are created wherever sewing would have been used – and will alleviate this problem.
Webbing from BioPlastics is also in compliance with FDA skin-sensitivity requirements. 

Do you need guidance in ordering webbing for your patient positioning and safe patient handling products? 

Typically, Lightweight Web: Ultra-Thin and Lightweight Web: Super-Flex coating thicknesses are the most popular because of their flexibility and hardware compliance.
