The main function of shoe covers is to provide protection for the patient, the medical operator and the shoes they are wearing from contaminants, by a physically covering the shoe. Shoe covers are of utmost important in the operating room, where strict sterile conditions must be upheld.

There are numerous substances which must be protected against in a surgical environment, including body fluids like blood and chemicals agents used during surgery. Patients are protected from contaminants which may reside on the shoe or sole of the medical professional.

Medical professionals benefit from wearing shoe covers to avoid their shoes from being damaged or soiled from any accidents in the operating room, for example chemical spills.

StayDry disposable shoe covers prevent the patient as well as medical practitioners from being exposed to contaminants that were brought in from outside that attached to the visitor’s shoe. Patients emerging from an operation or medical procedure are vulnerable, so it is important that they are not introduced to any foreign contaminants from the outside environment which may worsen their condition.

Shoe covers are disposable and should be used only once, to prevent contaminants collected in the operating room from being introduced into the outside environment. Potentially harmful substances which can be transmitted include bio hazardous body fluids, infectious material and debris. Due to their protective abilities, shoe covers are also used in industries which require sterile conditions and products, such as the food industry and catering services in nursing homes.
