NORTH RIDGEVILLE, OHIO —BioPlastics, a leading manufacturer of coated webbing and assemblies, has added Ultra-Fresh antimicrobial protection to its biosafe line of patient restraints. Biosafe patient restraints are the only EMS restraint cleanable up to 99 percent. Other restraints leave dangerous vegetative and mycobacterial organisms behind.
Even before we added Ultra-Fresh antimicrobial protection, studies showed our straps could be cleaned with a simple bleach and water solution, reducing 98 to 99 percent of pathogens, says Gary Flynn, medical business development manager. Now with the added protection of Ultra-Fresh, biosafe restraints are even further protected from breakdown caused by microbial growth.
Biosafe straps are safer, more cost-effective and can be returned to service faster than any other straps on the market. The straps also can be screen printed with department names to prevent theft. The products are compliant with FDA skin-sensitivity requirements, suited for multiple uses and available in a wide range of widths.
Additional benefits to the EMS market include:
- fewer straps to replace
- less time and money spent on cleaning
- faster return to service (clean and wipe dry in two minutes)
