Do You Know the Benefits of Paper Traycovers?
If you are working in a hospital or healthcare facility, then you are probably aware that the spreading of germs can be a huge issue. It's important that healthcare providers and patients alike do everything they can to try and prevent this; such as washing their hands before and after every meal or providers using gloves when performing first aid skills. You may not realize this, but you can also make a huge change at your healthcare facility by adding paper traycovers. Studies show that by adding a paper traycover to your tray, you are helping reduce the bacterial transfer from tabletops. Not only can traycovers act as a sanitary aid, but they can also be a great way to get your message across to a huge audience, your patients. MedFare is here to give you a few benefits of paper traycovers or placemats and explain how they can make a difference at your healthcare facility.
A study documenting the sanitary benefits of paper placemats was conducted by the Food Protection Laboratory of the Syracuse Research Corporation. Then a follow up was conducted by UW Environmental Studies finding similar results. That study expanded on the initial study to include new groups of facilities including Hospitals and Long Term Care facilities and evaluated microbial loads on tray covers and placemats versus uncovered tables and trays. A third study conducted by UW Oshkosh Microbiology professor Greg Kleinheinz, R.S., Ph.D. and UW Oshkosh Microbiology students reexamined the benefits of using disposable paper placemats or tray covers to reduce the amount of bacteria contacted while eating at certain types of facilities. Again, the study showed similar results.
Results from these studies demonstrated that tray covers and placemats help in the reduction of bacterial transfer from tabletops and trays. Given the relatively low cost of these paper products they could be a value-added public health benefit to these facilities. The benefits of using placemats or tray covers far outweigh any additional costs to the facility.
Studies are proving that the spread of germs can be contained through the help of Disposable Traycovers or Placemats. In fact, providing these items for each patient can drastically reduce the cases of Hospital Acquired Infections (HAI's). The benefits of Traycovers can far outweigh the cost at just 4.5 cents each. Isn't it worth it to help prevent the spread of germs?
While Placemats and Traycovers have proven very successful as a barrier to overall bacterial content, they have been particularly effective as a barrier to coliforms. Additionally, there were much higher levels of Staphylococcus found in samples with no Placemat or Traycover.
