Restoring mattresses with CleanPatch

Surfaces play an important role in the transmission of healthcare acquired infections (HAI) and thorough cleaning of the patient zone is crucial to patient safety (Otter et al, 2011).

Damaged patient mattresses cannot be properly cleaned and have been implicated in cross contamination and infection outbreaks (Creamer and Humphreys, 2008). It is estimated that 20 to 40% of mattresses in acute care settings are damaged as a result of physical abuse, exposure to chemical disinfectants, and general wear over time (Bradbury et al, 2014; Wong et al, 2013). 

CleanPatch from HENLEYS MEDICAL SUPPLIES LTDis the first registered Class 1 medical device specifically designed to restore damaged mattresses to an intact and hygienic state. CleanPatch has been extensively tested and shown to be impervious to fluids and fully cleanable with hospital disinfectants. Visit Henleys onStand 11at this year’s Infection Prevention.
