Heading to the national APIC 2026 conference? Stop by Booth 2317 and see the Soteria® Infant Mattress Barrier Program in action on an incubator.
Discover why hospitals across the country are choosing Soteria to help protect their most vulnerable patients by creating a barrier between infants and mattresses that can remain contaminated even after cleaning and disinfection.
This is actually a really big problem. Multiple NICU studies now show that incubators, especially mattresses and integrated scales, remain colonized with pathogens even after “standard” disinfection. In one unit, 63% of incubators were still positive for multidrug‑resistant Staphylococcus capitis NRCS‑A after cleaning, with mattresses and scale interstices as the main reservoirs.
Trinity Guardion’s reusable mattress barrier was designed precisely for this problem: to place an impermeable, validated, laundered barrier between the neonate and a chronically contaminated support surface, while preserving pressure redistribution and microclimate performance. For NICU leaders, this offers a way to decouple patient safety from the legacy limitations of mattress design and reprocessing.
