CleanPatch is a medical-grade patch designed to repair small tears in hospital mattresses and stretchers. It restores damaged surfaces to an intact state, allowing for proper cleaning and disinfection. Clinical studies show CleanPatch does not harbor more bacteria than the mattress surface and remains effective for over one year. By repairing tears rather than replacing mattresses, CleanPatch provides a cost-effective solution that can reduce healthcare-associated infections.

“Mattresses on patient beds are often
damaged, I also know that it is impossible to
properly clean a surface that was not intact,
and yet it was impractical to replace a mattress
each time a small tear appeared”

How Big of a Problem is It?
Multi-phase research study in a leading Hospital
conducted by the Ward of the 21st Century, a third
party clinical research organization
Surveyed 20% of mattresses in circulation:
213 patient beds across 33 units
Results
101 mattresses, or 47% had damage (rips, tears, cracks)
30 damaged mattresses were randomly swabbed:
o 20/30 (65%) tested positive for at least 1 organism
o 2/30 (6%) tested positive for Clostridium difficile
o 1/30 (3%) tested positive for VRE

Pseudomonas
Reference: Adapted from Creamer and Humphreys(2008)
Journal of Hospital Infections 69.8-23
• Multiple studies have
demonstrated that:
Hospital mattresses harbor
dangerous pathogens like
MRSA and C.difficile
Multiple outbreaks have
been traced back to
contaminated, damaged
mattresses
Mattress intervention, such
as improved cleaning
and/or returning
mattresses to an intact
state, have been shown to
terminate outbreaks

7. The Challenge
To address this issue, we spoke to Healthcare
Stakeholders in all departments (Infection Control,
Facilities, Housekeeping) and the product had to;
Hold up to repetitive cleaning by disinfectants
Not collect bacteria on the edge
Be simple to apply
Be cost-effective

9. CleanPatch Clinical Assessment
CleanPatch - Clinical Assessment
Primary Study Objectives
1) What is the incidence and severity of microbial growth on the hospital
mattress and CleanPatch before and after terminal cleaning? Is there any
difference?
2) How does CleanPatch perform in a clinical setting over the duration of the
study?

10. CleanPatch Clinical Assessment
Study Methods
• CleanPatch was applied to 60 mattresses (1 on
top and 1 on side)
• Testing took place between October 2012 and
January 2013
• 12 Microbial swabs were taken per sample
collection, 720 microbial swabs were cultured.

11. Primary Study Questions
• Is there any difference between microbial growth between the hospital mattress and
CleanPatch on the Mattress Top Site?
Study Results
• No significant difference in severity of microbial growth between the hospital mattress
and CleanPatch edge or surface, before and after terminal cleaning
• Reduction in pathogenic growth after terminal cleaning on all areas tested

12. • 72 CleanPatch applied in October 2012 on mattresses were assessed 1 year
later to determine patch viability and any signs of damage
• 72/72 or 100% looked the same as the day they were applied, CleanPatch
continues to perform well in a hospital environment on mattresses!

13. The Clinical Study on CleanPatch met its Primary Objectives,
Peer-reviewed publication coming soon!
• CleanPatch does not harbor any more (or less) organisms
than the hospital mattress, and is comparable in
cleanability
• CleanPatch performed well in a clinical setting

20. Testimonial
• Over 70 healthcare facilities in North America are purchasing
CleanPatch in the last few months!
"Many studies have shown that healthcare equipment (e.g. mattresses, positioning
pillows, stretchers, wheelchairs, high walkers) that are shared between
patients/residents/clients with rips and tears have resulted in disposal as they
cannot be cleaned nor disinfected properly. We hope to save some money by
using CleanPatch to repair this communal equipment and also provide a safe
environment for our patients. Our facility has been using CleanPatch for the
past eight months and the feedback from our end users is positive,
specifically the product's easy application and durability. We have been
using CleanPatch on our stretchers located in the busy Emergency Department
and it has been able to withstand multiple cleaning and disinfection“
