Double
anti-Bacterial Control
-
Hygi-Zone's
crucially new and unique foam
formulation incorporates an additive whick kills
MRSA, Staphyloccus Aureus, E-Coli and others in the event of
a puncture to both the mattress covers.
-
Hygi-Zone's
silver-based cover is
inherently anti-microbial, waterprrof, vapour permeable and
kills 99.9% of MRSA bacteria as well as numerous other
organisms, such as Staph. Aureus and E-Coli.
Double Physical
Defence
-
In order to
further protect the core mattress against the risk of fluid
ingress, Hygi-Zone has a patented design of second
transparent skin (also waterproof/vapour
permeable) that envelops the foam.
-
The Hygi-Zone's
zip is located underneath
the mattress enabling the top surface and sides to be made
from one panel of fabric:
|
- This
reduces the number of seams and minimises the risk of
fluid ingress
- This
design does away with loose flaps shielding side zips as
those often get damaged when they obstruct the side rails
- The
Hygi-Zone one-way-up design ensures that the delicate
nature of the skin-side mattress cover material is always
upper-most. This way a tougher material for the base can
be used which is more suitable for contact with the
sometimes sharp metal bed frames or rough storage floors.
|
In-board & underneath zip
|
Mattress covers are always liable to being cut or punctured,
thus allowing fluid ingress. Since thorough mattress cover
inspections or audits are lengthy and spaced many months apart,
the need is for invading organisms to be contained and killed.

"Infection outbreaks can quickly affect numerous patients
before their origin is traced. For example, in an outbreak of
serious wound infections on a Merseyside orthopaedic ward, 10
patients were effected and had to stay an average of 17 days
longer in hospital at a cost of £22199 in total. One of the
patients died from the infection."
