Disposable shoe covers

The use of disposable non woven shoe covers limits the risk of cross-contamination of the environment. In fact, shoe covers are disposable protective clothing used in all those industry where, either for the activity carried out or for the type of environment, contaminants may be present, which in direct contact with the sole can be transported from one place to another.

Some examples of applications:

In the food industry there may be food contaminated by pathogens which, through hands, equipment and utensils, may contaminate not only other foods but also the environment in which they are.

In the hospital-healthcare sector, staff encounter body fluids, blood and pathogens. Wearing disposable shoe covers prevents contamination of the shoe worn by the staff and that pathogens are, for example, transferred to home or, in certain departments such as intensive care, as shoes are a vehicle for bacteria, dirt, chemicals and even fertilizers, it is necessary to wear them so as not to contaminate the room.

In the field of environmental disinfection, the specialized operator who carries out the disinfection operation is potentially at risk of contact with pathogens found in the environment to be treated. The disposable covers avoids the risk of these pathogens passing from this environment to the one that must be disinfected later (on the same day).
