Infections and infection control are major concerns in nursing homes.
An independent clinical trial found our BodyShield reduced bacterial transfer and the risk of infection by an astounding 94%!
So much so that aged care facilities have been slowly moving away from using shared, reusable items. Clinical research proves that reusable products can harbour harmful pathogens and microbes, despite being cleaned or laundered — a serious health risk for both patients and staff.
Instead, nursing homes are opting for single-use products, a move that has led to a steady decline in healthcare-associated infections.
While a large number of healthcare products have been replaced with their single-use equivalent, such as curtains, surgical gowns, wipes, paper towels, gloves and, in some hospitals, surgical items, such as catheters, drains, central lines needles and even blinds, one high-contact, reusable product remains in use — hospital bed linen.
We’d love to introduce you to our BodyShield!
Purifas has developed the world’s first single-use bed linen. Made from a high-quality fabric and applied via an innovative dispensing and fitting mechanism, the BodyShield has been clinically and scientifically proven to reduce the transmission of bacteria by more than 90%!

Saliva and water resistant, and with bacterial filtering properties, our PillowGuard Recyclable reduces the risk of infection from a shared pillow.
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.
