Reused blood pressure cuffs are documented in every research report to be a source of 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.

We have  developed   a cost efficient  way  to  prevent  cross-contamination  of  blood  pressure  cuffs  that  we  call Cuff-Guard®. We make the only disposable cuff cover in the world, unlike disposable cuffs that are reused from patient to patient.

Infection control in hospitals, cuts cross contamination, nosocomial infections, and other hospital acquired infections. Lack of infection controls, can lead to further contamination and additional costs  to the hospitals.
