The Department of Veterans Affairs Western New York Healthcare System located at 3495 Bailey Avenue, Buffalo, NY 14215 has a requirement to replace the sleep surfaces on the facility’s CHG Spirit low beds have reached their end of life and require replacement. Hospital sleep surfaces are subjected to prolonged use, bodily fluids, punctures or tears from medical instruments, and harsh chemical cleanings.

Hospital sleep surfaces are subjected to prolonged use, bodily fluids, punctures or tears from medical instruments, and harsh chemical cleanings. Prolonged use causes breakdown of the sleep surface’s internal components. Breakdown of the sleep surface’s interior components is a major cause of skin injuries such as skin tears and bed sores.
