Precautions to follow when wearing shoe covers in the medical setting!

PPC gear has been a mandatory requirement for medical staff dealing with infectious diseases.

However, during the pandemic, the need for PPC increased even more for frontline medical professionals. Therefore, in addition to wearing a face mask, face shield, and using hand sanitizer, medical staff are also required to wear shoe covers before entering the medical facility as per the World Health Organization guidelines.

Shoe covers are an essential part of the PPC gear. They effectively protect against any contaminants that may have spilled on the hospital floor from vomiting of sick patients, contaminated blood, bodily fluids, or secretions. Thus, it is crucial to buy high-quality

polypropylene disposable shoe covers and PPC gear to ensure optimum germ protection of medical workers.

However, shoe covers will only be effective if worn and used correctly. Thus, medical workers need to follow various precautions when wearing shoe covers in the medical setting, as per the CDC and health department guidelines such as the following: 1) The shoe covers must be used only once. Polypropylene disposable shoe covers are designed to be used only once in a specific environment and in one room only. Thus, when going outside the room or into another area, it is crucial to dispose of the shoe cover and use another one when entering a different contaminating environment.

2) Before wearing the shoe cover, ensure that it is EPA approved and adheres to recommended medical standards.

3) It is easy to slip and fall when entering a damp environment. Thus, make sure the shoe cover material is anti-skid, waterproof, one-size-fits-all, lightweight, and safe to dispose of.

4) If the shoes have been soiled, they must be removed and disposed of safely. However, when removing the disposable shoe covers, make sure not to touch them directly. It is recommended to use a dispenser to remove the shoes after they are no longer needed.

5) Lastly, ensure the shoe covers are worn properly and have a comfortable elastic to securely fit around your ankle for optimum protection. It is best to buy polypropylene

disposable boot covers made from a breathable and comfortable material with non-particulate, non-conductive properties.
