When every minute counts but your bedding slows you down

In emergency rooms, during patient transport, and in crisis situations, every delay can cost lives.

This is exactly where conventional bedding solutions fail: Reprocessing takes time. Cleaning processes are error-prone.

And every use of reusable materials carries risk – for patients and staff alike. On top of that come high costs for logistics, storage, and laundry services.

The fact is:

Washable bedding doesn’t fit an environment that demands speed, hygiene, and availability.

Faster & more cost-effective:

Rescue Bedding® solves exactly this problem. Instantly ready, hygienically packaged, and seamlessly integrated into any workflow.

By 2030, the U.S. will face a shortage of over 500,000 nurses

Even today, hospital wards, emergency rooms, and mobile units are reaching their limits because resources are lacking and processes take too much time.
According to the American Hospital Association (AHA), the staffing shortage hits nursing staff particularly hard: What’s missing are people, not motivation.

The impact on daily operations

Hospital wards and ERs are constantly at their limits: labor-intensive tasks like changing beds become a burden instead of a given.

Laundry logistics, transport, returns, and redistribution consume valuable time – resources that today can decide between life and efficiency.

Nursing staff must minimize time-consuming routines in order to focus on what truly matters: providing safe, direct, and compassionate patient care.
