DandlePURE: The Neonatal Mattress That’s Raising the Bar in Infection Control
Hospitals are becoming increasingly complex, with higher patient acuity, greater reliance on technology, and increasing demands on clinicians. Healthcare facilities are tasked with balancing innovation with practicality—ensuring that new products and solutions enhance safety without adding complexity to already burdened systems. As responsibilities grow, so does the challenge of maintaining a clean and controlled care environment while ensuring that every patient receives the safest care possible.
One of the greatest obstacles in infection control is managing the variables that contribute to healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs). Some factors—like breaches in line integrity—are easily identified and addressed. But others—like environmental cleanliness—are highly variable, difficult to control, and even harder to improve.
The Human Factor in Infection Control
The finite capability of humans to adequately respond to increasing demands while continuously adjusting their behavior presents a particularly challenging scenario in healthcare. Our greatest strength—our humanity—can also be our greatest vulnerability. As the saying goes, “To err is human.”
It is incumbent upon healthcare facilities to make mindful decisions about improving practices, purchasing products, and implementing projects that facilitate positive change without overstraining existing systems of care. Facilities must strategize and simplify ways for their employees to carry out necessary changes consistently, acknowledging the limitations of being human.
Ideally, improvements in care practices, products, or processes increase safety and quality of care without placing additional demands on clinicians—allowing them to focus on what matters most: caring for their patients.
A Mattress That Helps Protect Infants & Caregivers
One area where this balance is especially critical is infection control. Despite strict cleaning protocols, traditional hospital mattresses can absorb fluids, harbor pathogens, and introduce unseen infection risks. When an infection occurs, root cause analysis often focuses on known factors, such as breaches in protocol. However, unknown environmental contributors, like contaminated soft surfaces, remain difficult to identify and even harder to control.
Soft surfaces in hospitals have long been recognized as potential reservoirs for pathogens, yet for decades, neonatal units lacked a better alternative—one that provides both proven pathogen resistance and easy maintenance. Until now.
DandlePURE: A Mattress Designed for a New Standard of Clean
Enter Dandle®PURE Neonatal Mattresses—a simple and effective way to improve care and decrease variability in environmental cleanliness without increasing caregiver burden.
DandlePURE Neonatal Mattresses provide a simple, effective solution to this ongoing problem. Unlike traditional hospital mattresses that allow pathogens to accumulate over time, DandlePURE offers next-level infection control through:
By integrating sealed barrier technology and an advanced filtration system, DandlePURE helps hospitals reduce infection risks, decrease variability in environmental cleanliness, and ensure a more consistent standard of care.
As healthcare evolves, facilities must continue to seek innovative solutions that improve patient safety without overburdening staff. We want hospitals to strategize smarter, simplify infection control, and build safety directly into the care environment—without increasing the demands on their already stretched teams.
DandlePURE isn’t just a better mattress—it’s a better foundation for infection control.
