SleepAngel® PneumaPure® filtered Barrier Bedding was invented and is used to combat Healthcare Acquired Infections (HAI) in healthcare sector and to improve environmental safety for patients and caregivers with bedding products that are a barrier to microbial contamination.
SleepAngel’s soft surface barrier products are a clinically proven barrier to pathogens*, allergens, microbes, liquids and mould.
We use unique and patent protected** fabric, filter and production innovation in the design and manufacture of pillows, mattresses and other cushioning devices, that are hermetically sealed and proven barrier to pathogen ingress yet is well ventilated, breathable and comfortable.

PneumaPure® filter Technology Brief

Abstract
The hospital bed is comprised of different components, which pose a potential risk of infection for the patient and care givers if not adequately decontaminated. Design of bedding products (such as pillows, mattresses, positioners, blankets, top mattresses) have not provided an adequate barrier to internal product contamination. Thread, needle perforations, air vents, zippers all allow air and liquid borne pathogen ingress. Contaminated bedding then acts as a reservoir and potential vector for infection.

Barrier bedding with PneumaPure® filter technology
PneumaPure® filter is a highly specialised nano-porous filter composite (i.e., composed of extremely small pores) that functions as an effective barrier to pathogens including bacteria, virus, and fungus as well as to the ingress of liquid, while remaining highly air-permeable. Using this advanced technology in the design and manufacture of pillows, mattresses and other cushioning devices, results in a hermetically sealed cushioning device that is a clinically proven barrier to pathogen ingress yet is well ventilated, breathable, and comfortable.
