When soiled, both fitted sheets, mattress protector and bed pad are to be changed.

This change can be time-consuming (around 10 mn) and up to 25% sheets get stolen, torn or disintegrate.(1)

On top of it, if soiling of mattress protector is not visible, there is high risk of contamination.

As a result, bedsheet is the source of 17% of nosocomial infection (2). It represents high risk of contamination for both patients and caregivers as it is in contact with airborne sources of contamination and direct sources such as liquid.

This is why, single-use and disposable sheet, mainly fitted-sheet and mattress protector, are an interesting solution. Unfortunately, there are often very uncomfortable, rough on the skin, and the top layer disintegrates easily

On top of it, it allows to change sheet quickly and without removing the patient off the bed, avoiding painful moves for him.

The disposable fitted sheet can be cost-saving as well considering time-saving for caregivers (1 mn vs 10 mn for traditional sheet, ie +2€ / sheet), traditional sheet replacement when damaged  (25%  of the sheet each year), laundry cost-savings (+/-2^€/ for 2 fitted sheet).(3)

This solution can be particularly adapted for bedridden patients, infection control, geriatric, ICU, ambulance, surgery, emergency room, resuscitation room, every department where soiling is frequent and patients are frail.

It puts an end to disinfection, laundry, ironing or damaged sheet replacement.
