Tear Resistant bedding or clothing: every situation is different
Some patients jump on their beds.
Some tear their pillow apart, fluff flying everywhere.
And some? They use their blanket as a weapon.
That’s when standard bedding just isn’t safe enough.
That’s when you need tear-resistant materials.
But which one should you choose? TearSafe, RipShield or Tricot Extreme?
Here’s your shortlist.
What’s the difference between TearSafe, RipShield and Tricot Extreme?
- TearSafe: Solid, budget-conscious solution with permanent flame retardancy. Tough enough for psychiatric settings or correctional facilities where risks exist, but budgets are tight.
- RipShield: Built for the highest-risk environments. Think isolation rooms, seclusion units, or crisis response. This fabric is nearly indestructible and completely flame resistant, even after repeated washes.
- Tricot Extreme: Soft enough to calm patients, strong enough to prevent damage. Designed for individuals with sensory sensitivity or unpredictable behaviour. Safety meets comfort.
When to choose which one?
- TearSafe: Perfect for combining safety with affordability. Commonly used in prisons and mental health units where moderate risk and tight budgets go hand in hand.
- RipShield: Best for maximum resistance and flame protection. Ideal for high-risk psychiatric wards, seclusion units or forensic care where every second counts.
- Tricot Extreme: When you need safety and calm. Suitable for settings like disability care, psychiatric facilities or youth care where behaviour is complex, but comfort is key.
