CleanPatch is designed to repair over 90% of the cuts, tears and punctures common to mattresses and many other hospital surfaces and is supported by independent laboratory testing and clinical evaluations.
The Problem: Mattress Damage
Surfaces in healthcare facilities have been linked to the spread of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Important examples of contaminated surfaces are damaged hospital bed and stretcher mattresses, which have the second highest number of surface contacts after bed rails, and have been demonstrated to harbour pathogens that have resulted in HAI outbreaks (Huslage et al, 2010).
Used extensively in healthcare facilities, mattresses can become damaged from daily wear and tear, and by physical and chemical damage. A recent study at a U.S. hospital revealed that 26.9% of mattresses on adult medical surgical beds showed occult (non-discernible) damage to the waterproof backing (Bradbury et al, 2015). In April 2013, the FDA issued a Safety Communication stating that damaged or worn medical bed mattress covers may allow blood and bodily fluids to penetrate the mattress core, posing a risk of infection to patients.
Damaged mattress surfaces cannot be properly cleaned and may become a risk to patient safety. It is important to catch damage early and restore the mattress surface to an intact and hygienic state in order to preserve performance characteristics and cleanability.
