Product Information
AdvaCare is a CE, ISO and USFDA manufacturer and global supplier of Shoe Covers. The StaySafe brand of Shoe Covers are internationally distributed and recognized for reliable quality and exceptional value. With distribution across developed and developing markets alike, our products are uniquely positioned as the brand of choice for medical professionals.
The main function of shoe covers is to provide protection for the patient, the medical operator and the shoes they are wearing from contaminants, by a physically covering the shoe. Shoe covers are of utmost important in the operating room, where strict sterile conditions must be upheld.
There are numerous substances which must be protected against in a surgical environment, including body fluids like blood and chemicals agents used during surgery. Patients are protected from contaminants which may reside on the shoe or sole of the medical professional.
Medical professionals benefit from wearing shoe covers to avoid their shoes from being damaged or soiled from any accidents in the operating room, for example chemical spills.
StayDry disposable shoe covers prevent the patient as well as medical practitioners from being exposed to contaminants that were brought in from outside that attached to the visitor’s shoe. Patients emerging from an operation or medical procedure are vulnerable, so it is important that they are not introduced to any foreign contaminants from the outside environment which may worsen their condition.
Shoe covers are disposable and should be used only once, to prevent contaminants collected in the operating room from being introduced into the outside environment. Potentially harmful substances which can be transmitted include bio hazardous body fluids, infectious material and debris. Due to their protective abilities, shoe covers are also used in industries which require sterile conditions and products, such as the food industry and catering services in nursing homes.
There are three styles of shoe covers offered by AdvaCare. The regular shoe cover, the boot cover, and the non-skid shoe cover.
The shoe cover ranges offered by AdvaCare are composed of materials resistant to deterioration and materials found in medical operating rooms such as chemicals. The three materials that shoe/boot covers are made from in the AdvaCare range are polypropylene, polyethylene and chlorinated polyethylene. Each material will be covered in more detail below.
Shoe cover selection should be made based on the specific aspects of the procedure, as well as personal preference. Both the surgeons and patients safety is imperative, so selecting the right shoe cover for the task at hand is of utmost importance.
