The leader in specialty disposable sheets.

PROBLEM
- Changing bed sheets daily is a major expense center
- The cost of sheets, mattress protectors and laundry are major
expenses. 25% of sheets are replaced each yea - Laundry is a major expense center for labor, water, electricity and
detergents.

SOLUTION
- The healthcare industry's first disposable, waterproof multi-layered
peel-away bed sheets make it quick and easy to instantly have a
new sheet in seconds. - Peelaways are soft and waterproof, serving as a sheet and mattress
protector with multiple layers. No replacement purchases. - Peelaways are disposable, so there are no laundry costs. One nurse
can change a sheet with a patient in the bed in under a minute.
HOSPITAL FACILITIES
Bed linens are changed daily which is a large expense center due to:
Washing linens at commercial establishment is NOT a simple process when it
comes to maintaining a sanitized end product that persists overtime
Textiles are prone to contamination from bacteria and fungi that often cause oder, staining and discoloration on fabrics, including molds and mildew. These are discarded by the staff and eventually will be replaced
- Cost of labor to strip and make the bed
- Water, detergents and electricity used for laundering the bed sheets
- Wear and tear on linens
- Replacement cost of linens
