Panaz Healthcare - Additional Information

Panaz has developed high quality, inherently flame retardant textiles for the healthcare sector over two decades. Our contract fabrics combine attention to design and colour with the highest technical specification to create durable fabrics which will assist healthcare professionals in creating an environment which is cleaner, safer and even more resilient to the daily wear and tear experienced in such extreme environments.

Fabrics impact on our appreciation and perception of our surroundings, helping to create an atmosphere of comfort and consideration for patients and staff. Panaz have worked with hospitals and care homes throughout the UK in helping them create their desired impression.

Panaz textiles for upholstery, curtains and bedding are as hard working as they are good looking and cater for the specific exigencies of healthcare, incorporating such features as anti-microbial protection, flame retardancy, resilience to harsh cleaning regimes, stain resistance, multi-directional stretch for pressure relief seating and water proof membranes.

Since 1988 when Panaz won its first award for Healthcare Innovation, Panaz has been at the forefront of Healthcare fabric design;

Since then we have been busy creating a total solution for cubicle curtains, bedding, drapery and upholstery.

After direct consultation with Doctors, nurses and other healthcare users drawing on their knowledge and experience, Panaz produces fabrics tailored for hospital and Healthcare facilities.

It is our philosophy that Hospitals apart from being centres of medical excellence should also offer a healing environment, as a consequence our colours and designs are carefully chosen not to interfere with recuperation from operations or with medical diagnosis.

Although the fabrics are designed to be soft they are also engineered for the extreme conditions required in hospitals. Cubical curtains can be suitable for Thermal disinfectant over long periods of time without loosing their core characteristics or they can be designed not to require thermal disinfecting as demonstrated in our Shield fabric technology.

Panaz is a leading supplier of flame retardant, stain resistant, waterproof anti microbial upholstery fabrics. In recognition of our commitment to innovation in this field we were awarded the Queens award for Enterprise. Panvelle, Panvelle stretch, Boltaflex, Panalux and Panatex are all leading brands from our portfolio that can be accessed from this site.

Following our Healthcare fabric upholstery collections Panaz is also a leading supplier of vinyl’s that offer extreme resistance to soiling. Boltaflex cadet is a crib5 performance vinyl that offers the unique ability to be bleach cleaned, because of the permafix finish. We also offer Vyflex the only vinyl that stretches in order to offer pressure relief characteristics.
