Medical bed mattress is an important part of hospital bed, which is mainly used to provide comfortable support for patients and meet various needs in the process of medical care. It plays a vital role in the process of patients' rehabilitation. Compared with ordinary hospital mattresses, it is more professional and targeted.
Hospital mattresses usually use high-quality soft materials such as memory cotton and sponge. Memory cotton can adaptively deform according to the shape and weight of the human body, provide uniform support for the patient's body, and effectively reduce the pressure at the pressure points of the body. For example, for the shoulder, hip and heel of patients who are bedridden for a long time, memory cotton hospital bed mattress can reduce the local pressure and reduce the risk of pressure ulcers. Sponges have good elasticity and can bring soft and comfortable touch to patients.
Some high-end hospital mattresses will also add breathable fabric layers on the surface, such as fabrics containing bamboo fiber or special breathable polyester fiber. These fabrics are not only soft and skin-friendly, but also allow air to circulate freely on the surface of hospital bed mattresses, helping patients to keep their skin dry and reduce skin problems caused by sweltering heat and humidity.
Thickness design: the thickness of hospital mattresses generally varies according to different use scenarios and patient needs. For medical bed mattresses in general wards, the thickness is usually about 10-15 cm, which can not only provide sufficient support, but also ensure the convenience for patients to get on and off the bed. In some special care wards, such as burn wards or intensive care units, thicker hospital mattresses may be used to provide additional cushioning and protection.
The surface of hospital mattress is usually treated with special waterproof treatment, and waterproof coating or waterproof fabric is usually used. This design can prevent the patient's body fluids (such as sweat, urine, blood, etc.) from infiltrating into the hospital mattress, and avoid the residue of stains and the growth of bacteria. For example, in the urology ward, patients may have urinary incontinence, and waterproof hospital mattresses can cope with this situation well and keep the hospital mattresses clean.
When stains appear on the surface of hospital mattress, this waterproof and antifouling design is also convenient for medical staff to clean. Generally, the stains can be easily removed by wiping with wet cloth or mild detergent.
In order to reduce the risk of cross-infection in hospitals, many hospital mattresses have added antibacterial agents. These antibacterial agents can inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria, fungi and viruses. The common antibacterial materials are antibacterial fabrics with silver ions, which can destroy the cell structure of microorganisms and make them inactive. This antibacterial performance is particularly important in places with high hygiene requirements such as infectious disease wards and operating rooms.
The manufacturing process of hospital mattresses also follows strict hygiene standards, and aseptic treatment will be carried out in the production workshop to ensure that hospital mattresses are clean and hygienic when delivered.
