REPLACING YOUR MATTRESSES Your mattresses get a lot of use and abuse — especially stretcher mattresses that are moved from department to department many times each day. As mattresses get worn out, there may be holes and tears in the fabric that allow blood or other bodily fluids to enter the mattress.
Between 2011 and 2016, the FDA received over 700 reports of mattress covers failing to prevent these fluids from entering the mattress 1. Some reports indicated that “if blood and body fluids from one patient penetrate a mattress, they can later leak out from the mattress when another patient is placed on the bed.”
Aside from being a safety concern for both your patients and your staff by increasing avoidable infections (and their associated costs), a damaged mattress decreases overall patient confidence in their care. Following these simple tips from the FDA can help you make sure that your mattresses are in good condition and ready for patients.

www.curbellmedical.com • 1-800-235-7500 1 FABRICS Bed and stretcher mattresses come in a variety of materials. The best option is a polyester-coated knit with either a polycarbonate or polyurethane additive. The standard fabric on most of our mattresses is a polyester-coated knit with the polycarbonate additive, as we feel it provides highest level of durability and is also resistant to more cleaners that are commonly used in hospitals. If you're interested in other options, please give your Curbell representative a call.
