NEW PATIENT SPECIFIC DISPOSABLE SLINGS WITH ANTIMICROBIAL PROTECTION—
THE SUPERIOR AND AFFORDABLE CHOICE IN SLING MICROBE CONTROL

BURNSVILLE, MN – Medcare Products, Inc. recognizes the need for improved bacteria control within healthcare facilities and is proud to present the first and only line of Patient-Specific Disposable Slings with antimicrobial protection. These slings feature Microban antimicrobial product protection, the global leader in built-in antimicrobial product protection.

Disposable Slings reduce the risk of cross-infection and contamination because they are patient specific—used by a single patient or resident and not shared with others like their reusable sling counterparts. Toileting, incontinence, wound care and simply everyday use make slings very susceptible to microbe growth.

Microban protection provides continuous antimicrobial protection 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 wear off, providing protection for the useful lifetime of the product and keeping the disposable slings cleaner between uses.

The complete line of Medcare Antimicrobial Patient Specific Disposable Slings will include: Slings with Head Support, Standard, Stretcher, Repositioning, and Morgue slings. These slings are for use with a 2, 4, or 6-point hook-up lift.
