Waterproof bed mattress covers are disposable protective barriers designed to fit over mattresses and prevent liquid spills, soiling, or cross-contamination, commonly used in clinical settings for patients with incontinence or other fluid-related risks. Their primary purpose is to maintain mattress hygiene and reduce the risk of infection or discomfort for the user.
These devices are typically single-use, intended for one patient and discarded after limited use rather than washed or reused. Regulation and classification vary by jurisdiction, but they are generally treated as medical devices due to their protective role in healthcare environments.
