Shoes Covers

Floors are considered a frequently touched object due to countless movement of visitors, healthcare workers and patients. Microorganisms can reside on the floors for a long time and are transferred from one department to other through footwear enhancing the risk of cross contamination. In healthcare facilities shoe covers are often used in aseptic areas including Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and Operating Theatres (OTs) to prevent cross contamination. Visitors and workers often wear shoe covers to help prevent carrying microbes from the healthcare facility to their personal spaces.
