LYNBROOK, N.Y., Nov. 30, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Bedbugs are not known to carry disease, but an infestation at a hospital or nursing home is a prescription for potential disaster. For healthcare institutions seeking to prevent or contain outbreaks, specialty barrier bedding such as The Bedbug Solution™ healthcare mattress and box spring covers from Bargoose Home Textiles (www.bargoosebedding.com) provides a good night's sleep for patients and peace of mind for risk managers, facility directors and patient families.

Featuring Bargoose's patent-pending Zip-N-Stick™ tape closure, The Bedbug Solution mattress and box spring covers are engineered to prevent bedbugs from getting into or out of the mattress. This is especially important following any exterminating treatment, since the covers act as protection against eggs or mature insects that may have been missed. Bedside staff knows the Zip-N-Stick seal is engaged when the tape is fastened securely over the zipper pull –an important visual safety check. The rust-proof Zip-N-Stick barrier is lab-certified for 100% effectiveness and washability.
The covers are available in two fabrications: six-gauge vinyl and stretch polyester knit with a urethane barrier. The heavy-duty six-gauge vinyl cover is not only bedbug proof, but also waterproof, fire retardant and treated with Ultra-Fresh® antimicrobial. This economical model is designed for easy maintenance between linen changes and long-lasting wear.
The stretch polyester knit fabrication is part of Bargoose's extensive family of barrier fabrics. These covers feature a hydrophilic membrane, which allows air to pass through for a cool and comfortable sleep, but completely blocks bedbugs, water and dust allergens. With a urethane lamination, the stretch polyester knit style is more pliable than the heavy-duty covers but provides the same level of bedbug protection.
Both fabrications are available in a variety of depths to fit all standard institutional mattress sizes.
"The healthcare industry is particularly vulnerable to the impact of an actual or potential bedbug infestation. Reliable protection not only mitigates this risk, it also contributes to a positive patient experience. The Bedbug Solution bedding from Bargoose is engineered to perform to the highest standards and to meet the extreme demands of the healthcare industry," said Diane Rattner, President of Bargoose Home Textiles.
