A medical shoe cover, also known as a "bootie," is a disposable or reusable protective covering worn over a shoe to prevent the transfer of germs, bacteria, and hazardous fluids. They create a barrier that keeps shoes clean and helps maintain a sanitary environment by preventing dirt, pathogens, and substances from being tracked into sterile areas. These covers are a form of personal protective equipment (PPE) used in hospitals, labs, and other controlled environments to control infections and protect both healthcare workers and patients.

Key Purposes

Containment:

They prevent pathogens and dirt from being carried on footwear into clean or sterile areas. 

Protection:

Shoe covers protect footwear from contamination by hazardous fluids, chemicals, and other materials found in medical settings. 

Infection Control:

By reducing the potential for cross-contamination, they are a vital tool for infection control in hospitals. 

Common Features

Material: Often made of disposable materials like polypropylene or non-woven fabric. 

Fluid Resistance: Some are designed to be waterproof or fluid-resistant to protect against bodily fluids. 

Traction: Many feature non-slip soles to provide grip on smooth floors. 

Ease of Use: They are typically slip-on, with an elastic band that secures them over most shoe sizes.
