Renray Healthcare has launched an innovative mattress called Noodles across all care sectors - including large care home groups - that is set to revolutionise pressure care.
The Noodles Technology mattress range is a fully cleanable and recyclable zoned pressure redistribution system with enhanced microclimate.
It is designed to address the challenges of those individuals that are bed bound, those that are clinically at risk of developing pressure injuries, have existing tissue damage or those that have moisture-associated skin damage.
Noodles is also more environmentally friendly than all foam and air mattresses.
As well as having an extended life span and being easier to clean it has been shown to save carer’s time significantly, when putting the Noodles mattress into use. This means that more direct care can be given to the resident.
“Noodles can be socially cleansed between each person, negating the need to remove the entire dynamic system for each individual,” said Louise Savine, lead tissue viability nurse at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.
“This in turn allows the care-giver more time, and reduces the manual handling risks involved with moving heavy equipment,” she added.ospitals
As the mattress is fully recyclable, the technology improves carbon footprint and offers improved infection control from its easy-to-clean benefits.
Most foam care mattresses are committed to landfill after the cover being breached.
Noodles Technology offers enhanced resident comfort and pressure area care, zoning in on an all-body support, emersion and excellent pressure reduction in both lying flat and profiled positioning.
“Patients have expressed how comfortable the noodles mattresses are, compared to their dynamic mattresses at home, and have even asked if they can take them home” said Savine.
Noodles provides a cost-effective solution with its longer life recyclable mattress that reduces replacement costs, contributes to the overall reduction of clinical waste and has enhanced sustainability which promote environmental savings and targets.
Renray Healthcare product director Graham Gladwin said: “It is clinically effective, fully washable and kinder to our environment than current mattress solutions”.
