Precision in Practice
In healthcare, reliable labelling is more than a convenience – it’s a necessity. From patient garments to mobility aids, every label must withstand frequent washing, exposure to cleaning agents, and constant handling – all while remaining legible and compliant.
For Silvalea, a UK-based manufacturer of patient transfer slings, labels play a critical role in ensuring safety, comfort, and regulatory compliance. Their products require labelling solutions that maintain clarity, support full traceability, and meet strict medical standards.
Silvalea has partnered with Asquith for over 30 years – a relationship that has evolved from the supply of basic printed labels to the development of bespoke woven labels featuring advanced elements such as laser etching and sequential woven serial numbers.
“We have worked with Asquith for over 30 years, which is a testament in itself,” says Julie Robertson, Technical and Product Executive at Silvalea. “We initially purchased our printed labels, evolving onto woven labels which now include laser etching options.”
Key Features of Compliant Medical Labels
These customised labels are specifically designed to meet the demands of a medical environment:
- High durability – able to withstand repeated industrial washing and chemical exposure.
- Traceability – unique serial numbers for every sling manufactured, ensuring complete auditability.
- Regulatory compliance – supporting the strict standards required for medical devices.
“Asquith are always our first point of contact when we are trying to come up with different ideas for our labels,” adds Julie. “They have always gone above and beyond to find a solution for us. Asquith have enabled Silvalea to ensure that our customers have the best labels that help to enhance our quality and life span of our products.”
For Silvalea, Asquith’s durable medical labels are not just a product – they’re a critical part of ensuring safety, compliance, and efficiency across their operations.
