PATENTS
Product innovations on behalf of our customers have yielded co-patents in support devices and several patents for advancements in manufacturing processes. One of our patented processes is shown below.
Fluid Resistant Removable Mattress Covers
In an effort to provide a removable mattress/cushion cover that is resistant to liquid migration, Casco invented a unique method to secure a full perimeter zipper without creation of a stitch line in the cover exposed to fluids. Using radio frequency sealing and a unique folded flap, the integrity of the cover when exposed to fluids is ensured. Any fluids on the mattress top simply flow over the cover and down the side below the protective flap.
| Need: a protective system that would keep fluids from entering patient care mattresses and cushions through the wraparound zipper |  |
Solution: radio frequency welding and a folded flap to secure the full perimeter zipper under a no-stitch line cover |  |
