Shoe Covers: Part 2

Almost all shoes covers available today for health professionals are made from poly lactic acid which is an environmentally friendly fabric that is easy to dispose. It biodegrades into water and carbon dioxide. All shoe covers for hospital use are made in accordance with guidelines from OSHA.

The shoe cover fabric is generally 0.1-0.5 mm in thickness and comes in white or blue colors. Shoe covers are ideal for people who not only work in the health care industry but also for those who process food, do house work, work in hair salons, cook foods or work into pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. Shoe covers available today are very light weight, convenient and easy to use. Most have an elastic band along the edges which helps the cover from falling off.

For individual who have latex allergy, there are even shoe covers which are latex free. Disposable shoe covers are considered to be an investment for hospitals because they limit the spread of diseases. One wears them to protect the environment.
Like disposable gloves shoe covers also are available in mass quantities. The majority of shoe covers available are fire resistant, splash proof and non slippery. Most are non allergenic and are easy to dispose.
