By measuring the so-called hydrostatic head (according to EN/ISO 20811), the resistance to penetration of liquids is measured. ROTECNO ® MedicalFabrics achieve hydrostatic head levels of up to more than 150 cm in new condition.
In professional use dimensional stability over using period is very important.Therefore, ROTECNO ® is testing the shrinkage according to specific protocol in horizontal and vertical direction after a tough washing procedure. Even life cycle tests of shrinkage properties are carried out regularly.
Compared to disposable textiles, reusable fabrics are mechanically much stronger. ROTECNO ® monitors this by testing of tear resistance according to ISO 13937-1 (Elmendorf).Even at the end of life stage, the tear resistance of ROTECNO ® Medical Fabrics is much higher than average disposable textiles.
