Medical Shoe Covers – Essential for Sanitation

Medical shoe covers are most often used by medical professionals in clean rooms, surgical rooms, operating rooms and other hospital facilities. They are also seen in some pharmaceutical facilities and clean rooms, research centers or manufacturing. Clean room shoe covers must be sterile and they are therefore useful in environments with high standard for quality.

Sterile shoe covers come in two main styles: the slip-on style and boot-cover style. The slip-on style covers only the shoe while the boot style extends up to the knee. Each style has its advantages and is useful depending on the environment in which it’s being used. The boot style comes with clasps and zippers for ease of wear. The slip-on style is a slip-on cover and features a type of elastic at the top for ease of wear and for changing the shoe covers quickly. Sometimes shoe covers are work over reusable boots for a higher degree of control of contaminants.

These shoe covers are made of clean room fabrics, which are anti-static, non-lining and non-scented. Depending on the type of fabric, it may be fitted to use in a Class 10, Class 100 or Class 10000 environments. A medical shoe cover is made to be durable but light. Most are skid-free with a liquid resistant bottom and breathable top. Sizes of shoe covers vary from XS to XL in most models.

Clean room shoe covers are very effective in reducing the amount of dirt collected when worn before entering the changing area. They are most useful when replaced many times throughout the day.
