Infections and infection control are major concerns in nursing homes.
An independent clinical trial found our BodyShield reduced bacterial transfer and the risk of infection by an astounding 94%!
So much so that aged care facilities have been slowly moving away from using shared, reusable items. Clinical research proves that reusable products can harbour harmful pathogens and microbes, despite being cleaned or laundered — a serious health risk for both patients and staff.
Instead, nursing homes are opting for single-use products, a move that has led to a steady decline in healthcare-associated infections.

Therapists often assume reusable automatically means sustainable — especially with towels. But when you look at the full lifecycle, laundry carries hidden water, energy, chemical and time costs that add up fast. This blog breaks down the real environmental impact of laundering versus recycling polypropylene, and shows why the greener choice isn’t about reusable vs single‑use in theory, but about which pathway actually reduces harm in a busy clinic.
