Trinity Guardion, Inc.

Trinity Guardion, Inc. manufactures the Soteria Bed Barrier, an FDA-cleared launderable protective barrier designed to protect hospital beds and mattresses from patient soiling and contamination. The product is engineered to reduce healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs) and meet FDA 2015 high-level disinfection standards (log 6 or 99.9999% kill of vegetative bacteria, mycobacteria, and spores) through a validated laundry process. Soteria is available in configurations for standard hospital beds (compatible with major manufacturers including Hill-Rom and Stryker) and for neonatal warmers and incubators (Panda Warmer and Giraffe Incubator models, patent-protected). Clinical studies demonstrate mattress pathogen reduction, approximately 10-minute time savings in room turnover compared to standard manufacturer instructions, and a 50% reduction in C. difficile transmission in long-term acute care settings. The company addresses a persistent industry challenge: contaminated hospital mattresses remain a known vector for HAI transmission despite emphasis from FDA, CDC, CMS, AMA, ECRI, and The Joint Commission. Soteria simplifies reprocessing by shifting disinfection-equivalent cleaning to the laundry cycle rather than requiring intensive chemical reprocessing during room turnover.
