The Purifas BodyShield is a soft, smooth and noiseless covering for therapy beds that not only protects clients from the risk of infection but offers them unrivalled comfort, which they love. Manufactured from a high-quality polypropylene, the BodyShield is resistant to sweat, saliva, water and blood, and both clinical and scientific testing have proved that the BodyShield reduces the transmission of bacteria by more than 90%.

Strong and durable, the BodyShield covers the entire surface of the therapy bed and is kept in place using our bed hooks — which means there is no movement during treatment and the therapy bed is protected at all times. It's also 100% recyclable.

HEALTHCARE-ASSOCIATED INFECTIONS — A MAJOR PROBLEM

The World Health Organization cites healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) as the most frequent adverse event in health care delivery worldwide. Many HAIs are preventable through the use of proper hygiene practice and tools, however, on average 452 people daily acquire a healthcareassociated infection, primarily due to poor compliance to hygiene practices.

INFECTION RISK IN THERAPY IS REAL

The Australian Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Infection in Healthcare states that  “…to be effective, infection prevention and control must be a priority in every healthcare facility…” and that it is “…central to providing high quality healthcare for patients and a safe working environment for those who work in [a] healthcare setting.” The therapy bed is exposed to harmful pathogens through contact and droplet transmission mechanisms. Without proper hygiene practices, the therapy bed becomes a potential source of infection as it is shared among clients. A study, where 16 chiropractors’ therapy tables were randomly swabbed, found 30 different species of gram-positive bacteria and eight different species of gram-negative bacteria  — any of which have been known to cause serious infections.

NON-TOXIC AND 100% RECYCLABLE

Purifas BodyShield is manufactured from non-toxic materials in accordance with ISO 13485 (quality management systems for medical devices). Designed and developed with the environment in mind, the BodyShield is 100% recyclable.
