A lightweight, high-strength TPU-coated 70D nylon fabric engineered specifically for the construction of high-performance inflatable bladders in orthopedic rehabilitation boots. This material combines the exceptional tear resistance and minimal stretch of 70-denier nylon with a medical-grade thermoplastic polyurethane coating, delivering a reliable, airtight, and durable solution for pneumatic compression therapy.
Product Description
TPU Coated 70D Nylon Fabric for Inflatable Medical Boots
Our TPU Coated 70D Nylon Fabric is a technical textile optimized for medical air chamber applications. The base fabric is a finely woven 70-denier nylon, chosen for its outstanding strength-to-weight ratio, low elasticity, and resistance to punctures. This substrate is then precision-coated on one side with a uniform layer of medical-grade Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU), creating a completely airtight barrier. The result is an ultra-lightweight yet incredibly tough laminate that forms the core structural component of inflatable bladders. Its low-stretch property is critical for maintaining precise volume and pressure control during inflation, ensuring consistent therapeutic compression. This fabric is the industry-preferred choice for constructing the primary air cell in pneumatic walking boots, fracture braces, and other rehabilitation devices where reliability, precise pressure delivery, and long-term durability are non-negotiable.
Key Features & Benefits
- High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: The 70D nylon base provides exceptional tensile and tear strength while adding minimal weight, contributing to a lighter, more comfortable medical device.
- Superior Airtightness & Reliability: The continuous medical-grade TPU coating ensures a perfect seal for outstanding air retention, guaranteeing reliable and consistent performance of the compression system.
- Low Stretch & Excellent Dimensional Stability: Minimal elongation under pressure prevents bladder over-expansion and “ballooning,” allowing for precise pressure calibration and control.
- Excellent Puncture & Abrasion Resistance: Highly resistant to damage from sharp edges, seams, or repeated use within the boot shell, enhancing product longevity and safety.
- Ultra-Lightweight: Reduces the overall weight of the rehabilitation device, significantly improving patient comfort and wearability during extended use.
- Strong, Consistent Weldability: The TPU coating facilitates clean and robust high-frequency (HF) or thermal welding, producing durable, leak-proof seams that are essential for air bladder integrity.
- Flexible & Conformable: Remains pliable to comfortably conform to anatomical contours without restricting movement or causing discomfort.
Recommended Applications
- Primary Air Bladder in Pneumatic Walking Boots: The core material for constructing the main inflatable chamber in boots for ankle/foot injuries and post-operative recovery.
- Inflatable Bladders for Fracture Braces & Orthoses: Used in adjustable air cells for stabilization and compression in various limb braces.
- Pressure Chambers in Sequential Compression Devices: For sleeves and garments used in lymphedema management and DVT prevention.
- High-Precision Inflatable Medical Splints: Where accurate pressure application and shape retention are critical.
- Other Inflatable Rehabilitation & Therapy Devices: Requiring a lightweight, strong, and dimensionally stable airtight fabric for reliable performance.
