MEDCARE PRODUCTS ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP
WITH MICROBAN INTERNATIONAL

BURNSVILLE, MN — Medcare Products, Inc., the nation’s premier patient/resident lift equipment manufacturer, announces an exclusive agreement with Microban International, Ltd, the global leader in built-in antimicrobial product protection.

Medcare will be integrating Microban antimicrobial protection into the following products available this June: Medcare Slings, Patient Specific Disposable Slings, and Care Stand, Care Lift and Ceiling Lift padding and handle grips.

"It is standard practice for Lift Equipment and Slings to be shared among several patients or residents. It is not practical to clean equipment between each use,” says Brooks C. Smith, president and CEO of Medcare Products. “The addition of Microban antimicrobial technology keeps our products cleaner between cleanings. This is a benefit to patients, residents and their caregivers."

Microban protection inhibits the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew that can cause stains, odors and product deterioration. Built-in during the manufacturing process, Microban antimicrobial protection will not wash or wear off, providing protection for the useful lifetime of the product.
