Where practicality meets dignity

Our adaptive clothing allows for ease of dressing for the wearer and their nurse or carer, reducing stress and pain for all concerned.

Our unique ‘Petal Back’ design:

  • minimises the chance of the carer causing bruising, fractures or lacerations.
  • protects delicate skin from being damaged during dressing and undressing

Petal Back Clothing withstands industrial laundering in aged care and healthcare settings. At the same time, our fabrics are soft and comfortable with flat seams.

The name tag makes it easy for staff to return clothes to the right resident.
