With simple, but innovative, design features MedMat is winning awards and clinicians’ recognition for being an effective tool for fighting infection.
Named a winner of the NHS programme Smart Solutions for HCAI, MedMat also received an award at the International HCAI Technology Innovation Summit, organised by the Department of Health and NHS Purchasing and Supply Agency. Supplied by SUNLIGHT CLINICAL SOLUTIONS, MedMat provides clinicians with an appropriate surface on which to conduct procedures such as dressing, canular and line changes. It has two sterile layers which enable the separation of the initial “dirty” element of the procedure, such as the removal of a dressing and the cleaning of a wound, from the following “sterile” part. The highly absorbent material also protects surfaces such as a patient’s bed or a hospital trolley from infectious material, and the integrated, sealable waste bag provides a safe and efficient way for clinicians to dispose of all non-sharp waste created during the procedure.
