Abstract: Described herein is a nonwoven wipe comprising a plurality of polyolefin fibers, wherein the plurality of polyolefin fibers have an average fiber diameter of at least 200 nm and at most 3.5 micrometers, and wherein the plurality of polyolefin fibers have a basis weight of at least 20 and no more than 100 grams per square meter. Such nonwoven wipes can be used with an aqueous solution, optionally comprising an active ingredient, to decontaminate a surface. Also disclosed herein in a decontamination kit providing the same and a method of decontaminating a surface.

Abstract: According to one embodiment a bed enclosure comprises a frame including a plurality of side posts and upper frame members connected to the side posts. The frame defines a pair of opposed ends, opposed sides and a top of the bed enclosure. At least one cover member is provided and covers the opposed ends, opposed sides and the top of the bed enclosure. The at least one cover members includes a flap portion which wraps around and covers a portion of one of the upright side posts and upper frame members and is secured therearound so as to prevent access around the at least one of the upright side posts and upper frame members which is covered by the flap portion.

Abstract: A bed enclosure includes a bed which is adapted to move up and down relative to a resting surface beneath the bed, and an enclosure which encloses at least the occupant portion of the bed. The enclosure is adapted to move up and down with the bed. Another embodiment of a bed enclosure includes a bed and an enclosure which comprises a plurality of panels. At least one of the panels is removably attached to the enclosure.

Abstract: A bed enclosure is provided with a side rail which is movably mounted to a frame of the bed enclosure by a hinge assembly. The hinge assembly allows the side rail to pivotally move between a raised position, in which the side rail is adjacent a side of a mattress supported by the frame, and a lowered position, in which the said rail is below a top surface of the mattress, thereby permitting a person to easily enter and exit the bed enclosure. The hinge assembly retains the side rail in a locked position flush against the side of the mattress so that there is substantially no gap between the side rail and the side of the mattress when the side rail is in the raised position. The hinge assembly can be manually operated to disengage the side rail from the raised position to pivot the side rail in a direction outwardly from the side of the mattress to the lowered position.

Abstract: An improved bed enclosure is provided with an unique supporting structure which increases the vertical stability of the bed enclosure. The bed enclosure includes a frame having at least four upright side posts, each including an upper portion and a lower portion. The frame further includes upper frame support members interconnecting the upper portions of the side posts together, and lower frame support members interconnecting the lower portions of the side posts together. The frame defines a pair of generally vertical side walls of a predetermined length and a pair of opposed end walls of a predetermined width, the predetermined length being greater than the predetermined width. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, at least one support leg is associated with each of the side walls and is secured to the lower portions of the side posts and is engageable with the floor at a point spaced outwardly from the respective side wall.
