THE FIRST PATIENT SLINGS WITH ANTIMICROBIAL PROTECTION
BURNSVILLE, MN – Medcare Products is proud to introduce the industry’s first antimicrobial protected slings and belts—Antimicrobial Care Slings and Care Belts. Used in conjunction with patient lift and stand equipment, Medcare’s full line of slings and belts now features Microban antimicrobial product protection, the global leader in built-in antimicrobial product protection.
Floor Lifts, Sit-to-Stands and Ceiling Lifts utilize slings to lift and transfer patients and residents (i.e. to and from a bed, wheelchair, or commode, etc.) Toileting, incontinence, wound care and simply everyday use make slings and belts very susceptible to microbe growth. It is also common practice for slings and belts to be used multiple times on multiple people during the day before they are washed.
Microban protection provides continuous antimicrobial cleaning that inhibits the growth of microbes such as 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 and keeping the slings and belts cleaner between cleanings.
The complete line of Medcare Antimicrobial Care Slings will include: Slings with Head Support, Standard, Amputee, Commode, Multi-Purpose, Stretcher, Repositioning, Morgue, and Patient Specific Disposable Slings. These slings are for use with a 2, 4, or 6-point hook-up lift. Medcare Antimicrobial Care Belts include Care Stand Belts and Transport Attachments.
