Orvecare Type IIR Face Masks

Using the knowledge of over 40 years’ manufacturing experience and with the aid of qualified clinicians. Orvecare have designed a range of cost-effective products to aid with patient and clinician safety.

The range of Orvecare’s products include the patented passive warming blanket, Orvewrap+. This has been tested under clinical review in NHS hospitals. Consequently, the tests found that the products achieve a high degree of compliance with the WHO standard for patient temperature management.

During the peak of the Covid pandemic in 2020, Orvecare developed a production system to manufacture Type IIR face masks on-site in Hull. Having now purchased this UK PPE production unit, this provides Interweave more options. Most importantly, to be able to offer this vital product range in greater volumes and with a more reliable supply to customers. NHS Trusts and other healthcare providers will benefit from this.

Interweave Textiles are ensuring the continuity of service offered to existing Orvecare customers. To clarify, the company will continue to provide the full range of products and services that customers rely on.

This is a fantastically positive acquisition for our business, with many synergies in terms of product area & customer base. Interweave will retain Orvecare’s UK & China production and sales capabilities. Meanwhile, all order processing & account management will be actioned in-house at Interweave’s Elland HQ”.
