We are proud to announce that both our FaceShield and best practice guidelines have been endorsed by the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA), the peak professional body representing the interests of Australian physiotherapists and their patients.
This endorsement cements Purifas’ position as an industry leader in the development of hygiene solutions for physiotherapists that also benefit the physiotherapy community as a whole.

“The APA welcomes Purifas to our partner network and we identified that Purifas fills a much needed category being a hygiene solution provider. Their FaceShield has been endorsed and is accompanied by their best practice guidelines. We encourage all APA members, when utilising treatment tables, to consider the use of the FaceShield. (APA members who are new to the Purifas range are eligible for a discounted price offer.)” Glenn Lloyd — Manager, Partnerships & Business Development, Australian Physiotherapy Association |
For a product (or service) to be endorsed by the APA it must adhere to their stringent set of requirements, which serves to ensure the product is indeed fit for purpose. To give just a few examples:
Endorsement only occurs after a two-part process of detailed inspection and assessment carried out by an expert review panel. As a result, both therapists and consumers alike can be assured that APA-endorsed products have been fully evaluated and provide excellent quality, value and security.
A product endorsement from the APA provides relevant professional endorsement to assist the consumer in identifying products of therapeutic benefit.
Swap your paper and towel coverings for a safer, softer and more environmentally friendly option. Our FaceShield is the best swap you’ll make.
Based on current research and evidence, our APA-endorsed best practice guidelines provide clear hygiene standards for therapy professionals who have a duty of care to their customers.
The Dream Topper story continues with a new extended face cradle version designed specifically for horseshoe-style or contoured therapy beds. Built from therapist feedback, it delivers the same premium comfort, hygiene and presentation as the original — now in a cradle-specific design that supports a smoother, more natural prone position. Part of the Purifas zero-towel solution, it helps reduce towel use, streamline hygiene and elevate every client experience.
Therapists often assume reusable automatically means sustainable — especially with towels. But when you look at the full lifecycle, laundry carries hidden water, energy, chemical and time costs that add up fast. This blog breaks down the real environmental impact of laundering versus recycling polypropylene, and shows why the greener choice isn’t about reusable vs single‑use in theory, but about which pathway actually reduces harm in a busy clinic.
Scar tissue is a dynamic, living structure shaped by biochemistry, tissue mechanics and the quality of care throughout recovery. This blog outlines how targeted clinical nutrition supports collagen formation and inflammation control, how early manual therapy helps guide healthy fibre alignment, and how modern modalities such as IASTM and myofascial cupping use shear and decompression to restore mobility in restrictive scars. It also highlights the unique considerations of oncology scars, where lymphedema risk, radiation‑altered tissue and somatic memory require gentle, trauma‑informed treatment. You’ll also find details of a related online event at the end of this blog.
