Clinically proven barrier to pathogen ingress, yet well ventilated, breathable and comfortable.
Patented bedding range, clinically proven to block viruses, allergens, microbes and mold.
Hermetically sealed cushioning keeps pathogens out, because there is no stitching.
PneumaPure filter technology is an important breakthrough in the fight against HAl’s. The threat to patient, caregiver, and visitor safety from contaminated bedding interiors is so apparent that it could be argued that PneumaPure filter technology should be not just recommended for adoption, but mandated. In hotels, there are significant benefits from a room hygiene and guest safety perspective; in the home, there is a clear benefit from the significant reduction in exposure to asthma and allergy triggers.
The Health Board has equipped its hospitals with SleepAngel mattresses, pillows and duvets to support its “Safe Clean Care” infection prevention programme - implemented to reduce infection risk and provide a safe clean environment for patients and caregivers.
There has always been a significant need to ensure a safe environment for patient care, which due to recent challenges around Covid-19 has made it even more essential.
Clarke: “Not until you see the innovation used by SleepAngel with the use of the PneumaPure Filter technology that you understand the difference between a standard washable product and a world class Medical Device"
According to recent testing by an independent laboratory, PneumaPure filters can block transmission of coronavirus 229E. Hence, this filter can also protect the interiors of pillows and mattresses from nCoV-19 contamination, thereby eliminating the fomite risk posed by contaminated soft surface interiors and ensuring a safer environment for caregiver and patient.
Because it has a medical membrane seal and a completely welded seam, it allows the pillow to be wiped down on site so it is not returned to laundry for processing. Each bed is now using one pillow, which is a reduction from previously using two or three pillows.
I was using SleepAngel Medical pillow for the last two months when I was in the hospital. I had problems with my neck spine and felt the difference after the first night using the pillow. It is an ideal for someone like me who is used to sleeping on the side. It was actually so good that I decided to get it for myself at home too.
