Healthcare-associated illnesses (HAIs) spread more readily on surfaces in healthcare facilities. Important examples of contaminated surfaces are hospital beds and stretcher mattresses, which have been shown to host bacteria that have led to HAI outbreaks and have the second highest number of surface contacts after bed rails. 

Used extensively in healthcare facilities, mattresses are exposed to daily wear and tear and can easily become damaged. Despite infection control and prevention programs and all efforts to reduce risk and contamination, it is still common to find quick patchwork and unauthorised repairs using solutions such as plasters and tapes which are extremely risky and highly ineffective. 

A medical surface repair patch is available to restore a damaged mattress surface, preventing the expensive replacement of mattresses that are only slightly damaged.

CleanPatch is another award-winning product that we supply to the healthcare industry to enable the highest quality healthcare and effective clinical outcomes. 

CleanPatch:

Inspired by a nurse, CleanPatch was developed as a cost-effective solution to the infectious risks that arise as a result of damaged healthcare surfaces. 

CleanPatch is the first medical-grade ‘stretch’ repair patch for bed and stretcher mattresses that quickly and effectively restores damaged pressure care products to ensure they are completely intact and hygienic. 

The stretch patch has been designed to repair soft pressure relieving surfaces commonly found on stretcher mattresses and comfort chairs. We offer a range of shapes and sizes, a combination of the smaller round dot to the larger rectangle shape ensures any type of damage is covered correctly and efficiently.

Benefits & Features: 

Surfaces have a significant role in the spread of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), consequently it is essential for patient safety that the surgical environment is cleaned thoroughly. Damaged soft surfaces cannot be thoroughly cleaned and may contain microorganisms that increase the risk of cross-contamination.

CleanPatch works on stretch, vinyl, and gel surfaces to reduce infection risks as dangerous hidden pathogens typically spread by cross-contamination through various HAIs, common when surfaces cannot be properly disinfected due to damage (e.g., small chemical damages, punctures, cuts/tears, other previously repaired or taped areas.)
