WELCOME
Bowen Medical makes disposable covers for medical equipment. We started our company in 1994 and have expanded into several protective products. The company is owned and operated by medical people that have had direct contact with protection needs of both health care worker and patients.
Common sense tells us that any medical device that comes in contact with contamination will share this contamination and pass it along if reused. In fact ALL research done on blood pressure cuff contamination states that the reused cuffs are always contaminated and many are documented with loads of virulent disease and blood.
Cuff-Guard is our patented cover for the blood pressure cuff. This was inspired by first hand knowledge that blood and contaminates were spread from patient to patient through the re -use of this common medical device.
It is our passion to reduce nosocomial infection rates. One hospital reported that they reduced their Hospital acquired infection rate by nearly 50% through the use of our protective covers for blood pressure cuffs called Cuff-Guard.
There are an estimated 2 million Hospital Acquired infections each year with reports of 100,000 deaths. The cost to treat these nosocomial (hospital acquired) infections is estimated at 30.5 Billion dollars per year.
No medical device should touch from patient to patient without disinfection. Our product lines provide for this protection to both the patient and the health care worker through ease of use and being cost effective.
