Purifas® launches in the United Kingdom
The Purifas® Face Shield™ has been hard at work reducing the risk of infection in clinics all over Australia and New Zealand. And now, we’re pleased to announce it’s available in the United Kingdom.
In just over a year since launching, Purifas® has caught the attention of hygiene conscious therapists worldwide.
Why? Because the Faceshield™ is the only head barrier that provides full coverage of the face hole, and is clinically and scientifically proven to reduce bacterial transmission.
No matter the country, therapists have a duty of care towards their clients. The FaceShield™ is a breakthrough in clinical health protection, making this obligation easier than ever.
Trialed, tested and proven to be loved by both therapists and consumers, this revolutionary product is set to transform health and safety standards in allied health.
The United Kingdom is the first country in the European market to import the Purifas® FaceShield™. Now, UK therapists can provide their clients with the royal treatment in hygiene and comfort.
All UK therapists can purchase the Purifas® FaceShield™ at Physio Supplies.
The Dream Topper story continues with a new extended face cradle version designed specifically for horseshoe-style or contoured therapy beds. Built from therapist feedback, it delivers the same premium comfort, hygiene and presentation as the original — now in a cradle-specific design that supports a smoother, more natural prone position. Part of the Purifas zero-towel solution, it helps reduce towel use, streamline hygiene and elevate every client experience.
Therapists often assume reusable automatically means sustainable — especially with towels. But when you look at the full lifecycle, laundry carries hidden water, energy, chemical and time costs that add up fast. This blog breaks down the real environmental impact of laundering versus recycling polypropylene, and shows why the greener choice isn’t about reusable vs single‑use in theory, but about which pathway actually reduces harm in a busy clinic.
Scar tissue is a dynamic, living structure shaped by biochemistry, tissue mechanics and the quality of care throughout recovery. This blog outlines how targeted clinical nutrition supports collagen formation and inflammation control, how early manual therapy helps guide healthy fibre alignment, and how modern modalities such as IASTM and myofascial cupping use shear and decompression to restore mobility in restrictive scars. It also highlights the unique considerations of oncology scars, where lymphedema risk, radiation‑altered tissue and somatic memory require gentle, trauma‑informed treatment. You’ll also find details of a related online event at the end of this blog.
