At the request and under the guidance of a top cardiac surgery center, we developed the waterproof EZ-Clean pillows to prevent the transmission and spread of pathogenic microorganisms from the pillow to heart surgery survivors of all ages. With our modern EZ-Clean Vinyl Pillows in place, your pediatric infection control and prevention procedures are inherent, worry-free, and effortless. If you compare our vinyl pillows to cloth pillows that are used in most cardiology specialties, you will be pleased to discover our EZ-Clean Pillow is not only a much comfier, safer reusable cardiac post-op aid, but also a user-friendly, cost-effective, eco-friendly, and promotional friendly product.

 

Our EZ-Clean Sanitary Solution Reduces Infection Risk

  1. Our EZ-Clean cough pillows designed for children have an outer vinyl cover that wraps the inner pillow. The two pieces can easily be removed from each other through a safe opening.
  2. The outer cover is made of waterproof vinyl constructed with antimicrobial protection. The surface is smooth and germ resistant. No mucus blood, other bodily fluids, or other liquid can penetrate through the cover, so the inner pillows stay dry and clean all the time. This compares to cloth pillows that allow the liquid to run between the weaves and leak inside.
  3. When any liquid gets on our vinyl pillow, you can simply wipe it clean onsite with a cloth or tissue and spray a disinfectant. A disinfected vinyl pillow is reusable. Meanwhile, a messy cloth pillow must be washed and dried requiring a couple of backup pillows for each pediatric patient.
  4. To sterilize, you can just wash and dry the removable vinyl covers. A regular washing machine can launder 35 pieces of our vinyl covers or 5-6 pieces of bulky cloth pillows. The difference is 7-10 times!
  5. Obviously, the inherent EZ-Clean Sanitary Solution keeps our vinyl cough pillows dry and clean, making it extremely hard for germs to transmit from the heart-shaped cough pillows to pediatric surgery patients recovering from a heart transplant, coronary bypass, or valve replacement.

Our Pillow Are Comfortable and Safe Post-op Aid

  1. Our pillows offer sternal support and reduce pain. The cough pillows are given to patients right after their surgery to hug to splint their external incision and to help with coughing and deep breathing exercises that are necessary for recovery. During post-op recovery when the bone is healing, patients need to protect it from the excess force and limit movement of the upper body. So sternal precautions require recovering children to avoid activities that involve pushing, pulling, or lifting with their arms. Patients are instructed to hug the kid-sized heart pillow and use their heels and legs when changing positions between supine and seated or getting out of bed and back into the bed, as well as when performing coughing and deep breathing exercises that can help avoid post-op complications such as pneumonia. Our EZ-Clean Cough Pillow provides an extra layer of pressure to counteract any jolting from movements, facilitating proper stabilization of the sternal area and reducing pain and discomfort associated with the exercises.
  2. Our pillows offer cozier support. Our inner pillow is firm yet soft, especially when wrapped with the smooth pediatric sized vinyl cover. Particularly, the inner pillow is filled with microbeads that are moving in response to pressure. Any child can adjust the pillow and their hugging force to receive customized pain reduction and gain confidence in moving, coughing, and deep breathing exercises. The custom support provides an accelerated recovery. To compare, no one cloth pillow offers a contouring hug, since the fiberfill filling never moves.
  3. Our pillows offer safer support. Our pillows have an outer cover made of germ-resistant, waterproof antimicrobial vinyl. Germs and bacteria can be removed from the smooth cover by simple wipes. No bacteria or germ can penetrate inside. The risk of pathogenic microorganisms being transmitted from our EZ-Clean pillows to patients is greatly minimized. To compare, all cloth cough pillows on the market have a porous surface that is hard to clean and infection-prone.
  4. Our pillows offer stronger emotional support. When a cough pillow is given to a child, the RN can sign it with a permanent marker. Then all related nurses, pediatricians, surgeons, and cardiologists are expected to sign the pillow, too. These signatures are a great token of welcome, appreciation, commitment, and well wishes from the hospital and care providers. The patient's parents, family, and friends also sign the pillow or write get-well messages. The heart shape represents hope, strength, and new beginnings, providing a powerful mental and emotional support that helps the patient stay positive and encouraged in the difficult journey back towards a normal, healthy life. The brilliant signatures and names on our vinyl pillows give patients stronger hope and confidence. To compare a cloth heart pillow, the ink sinks and looks dim and weak.

The cover withstands disinfectants and laundry detergents. The ink and print stay clean for years. The vinyl cover is reusable upon being disinfected which cannot be said for cloth pillows.
