REUSABLES VS. DISPOSABLES
 
There is no argument! Reusables WIN!
  • Disposables are twice as expensive as reusables:
    • Expensive initial purchase price
    • Disposal and Warehousing costs
    • Occupational health costs
    • Liability costs
    • Environmental consequences
  • The Reusable Comfort Advantage
    • Doctors prefer them
    • Nurses prefer them
    • Patients prefer them
    • Commercial & OPL’s care about the environment.
  • OSHA Standards
    • "garments have to be appropriate for the task and degree of exposure to blood borne pathogens and infectious bacteria anticipated."...when reusable barrier items are laundered correctly, the end result is that reusables are 70% better then the latest disposable spun-bonded products when tested for meeting standards.
  • Reusables will help hospitals need to meet EPA waste reductions
  • Reusables are people preferred (especially gowns by Dr., RN & Patient)
  • Reusables provide better barrier protection in surgery.
