GABRIEL SCIENTIFIC has produced the SleepAngel Range of hospital barrier bedding including pillows, duvets and mattresses, which feature patented PneumaPure Filter Technology (PPT). This prevents the interior of the cushioning device from becoming contaminated. It is a key innovation in the fight against healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs).
The SleepAngel Pillow is a registered and certified Class I Medical Device. This patented innovation involves applying a highly specialised micro-porous filter membrane to a hermetically sealed (HF welded) cover, thus allowing the device to ‘breathe’ and maintain shape and patient comfort.
On converting a medical facility to using the SleepAngel pillow, user evidence indicates reduced HCAI rates, reduced number of pillows per bed, and a useful life expectancy for the SleepAngel pillow of 36 months. This results in cost savings of over 30%.
