Pinel belts are constructed of multiple layers of high tech textile. Each layer is designed for optimal wearing comfort, maximum safety for the patient and easy maintenance. This is reflected in the tested antimicrobial properties tested (including MRSA resistant), flame retardancy, a tensile strength that is twice that of steel (the core is made of Kevlar©), almost impossible to cut, an extremely long lifespan, a drying time of only 45 minutes and autoclavable (125° C).
