We tested our BodyShield with over 60 clients to find out what they thought of it compared to their clinic’s current product of choice, and to determine what they feel is important when being treated by a therapist. A must-read for those who value client service and safety.
Bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) is the measurement of a material's resistance to penetration of bacteria. Using an independent, international laboratory, we compared the BFE of our BodyShield with that of an unbranded single-use fitted bed cover.
Purifas sponsored a clinical trial that was developed and completed by an independent microbiologist from Macquarie University in Sydney. The purpose of the trial was to determine:
• The average number of bacteria colony-forming units (CFU) that appeared after swabbing a therapy bed that had been used for a 10-minute massage.
• The effectiveness of our BodyShield in significantly reducing the transfer of bacteria and the risk of infection to your clients.
The results were astounding.
Ensuring top-notch hygiene in therapy and allied health settings is vital for client safety. Shared equipment can easily lead to cross-contamination without strict hygiene protocols. Towels, frequently used in these environments, can harbour bacteria even after washing, posing risks to both clients and therapists. This guide will help you understand these risks, avoid common mistakes and implement the best hygiene practices, all while being environmentally conscious.
