Bowen Medical Announces Addition to Line of Disposable Blood Pressure Cuff Covers
Live Oak, Florida, Sept 4, 2014--(Healthcare Sales & Marketing Network)--Tom Bowen, President of Bowen Medical announced today the addition of Single Person, Disposable Blood Pressure Cuff Covers to its already extensive line of Disposable Blood Pressure Cuffs.Bowen Medical, established in 1996, is headquartered in Live Oak, Florida. Bowen Medical distributes products to England, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Israel as well as the United States and Canada.
Reused blood pressure cuffs are documented in every research report to be a source of disease cross-contamination.
There are 2 million hospital acquired infections per year in the USA. 80,000 deaths are directly attributed to these infections. The cost per infection can be as much as $35,000. Often, these costs are not reimbursed.
Bowen Medical makes the only disposable cuff cover in the world. This is a proven technology which is a very cost efficient way to prevent cross-contamination of blood pressure cuffs. It fits over existing equipment in seconds, and priced to be a true disposable. This product is known as “Cuff-Guard®”.
Infection control in hospitals cuts cross contamination, nosocomial infections, and other hospital acquired infections. Lack of infection control can lead to further contamination and additional costs to the hospitals.
When contacted by telephone, Mr. Bowen further commented that his disposable Blood Pressure Cuffs underwent rigorous and extensive testing by the National Institute of Health, and was awarded to the Hospital Technologies project by the NIH.*
