Surface Medical offers a mattress inspection and repair guide, detailing an implementation protocol for preventative maintenance and care of healthcare mattresses and stretchers.
The mattress inspection and repair guide is an industry first and was developed using published best practices in consultation with infection control professionals. It lays out a three-step approach for care and maintenance of mattresses: mattress inspection, mattress intervention and tracking.
