HUNTERSVILLE, N.C., June 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Microban International, Ltd. has entered into a strategic partnership with Medcare Products, Inc., an American manufacturer of top-quality mobile and ceiling-mounted patient lifts, standard and disposable slings, transfer aids and repositioning equipment. Because of this partnership, Medcare’s patient slings and belts will be the only slings and belts available with built-in Microban(R) antimicrobial product protection, and will join a growing list of products used in healthcare facilities with this innovative technology.
As the fabrics are infused with Microban(R) protection during the manufacturing process, Medcare’s Patient Slings will provide an added level of protection from microbes, such as bacteria, mold and mildew that can cause stains, odors and product deterioration. And as bacteria can multiply quickly on the slings after repeated uses, Microban(R) protection works 24/7 to keep the slings cleaner for longer between cleanings, and will last for the useful lifetime of the sling.
“In response to a strong desire for antimicrobial protection in healthcare facilities, we are extremely pleased to announce this new partnership with Medcare Products,” commented David Meyers, CEO of Microban International. “I’m confident that the healthcare industry will embrace this new product containing Microban(R) technology because of the extra product protection it provides against microbes.”
“This innovative technology, combined with our existing patient transfer products, provides us with a unique advantage in the healthcare products market,” says Medcare’s CEO Brooks Smith. “We are proud to be the first supplier of patient slings and belts with Microban(R) antimicrobial product protection -- this technology can not be found in any other patient lift equipment in the U.S. and provides an additional level of product protection we know healthcare facilities are looking for.”
