Plastic shoe covers are essential for any medical practice or research facility. Made from polyethylene, plastic shoe covers have a good resistance to liquid an water. Plastic shoe covers can keep shoes clean and dry, which will prolong the life of your shoes and protect them from damage. Plastic shoe covers also protect the environment from dirt, grime, pollen, dust, and airborne microbes.  This is especially important in a sterile environment or a cleanroom. Cleanrooms are rooms where the atmosphere is carefully controlled to keep out contaminants, or to keep contaminants at certain levels.

Polyethylene is a non-woven material. It is very durable and does not rip or tear easily. Plastic shoe covers come oversized to fit any shoe or boot. Plastic shoe covers also have elastic bands to guarantee they fit against your ankle snugly and securely. Plastic shoe covers are non-static. Because they lack static electricity, dust and other particles will not cling to the material.

Plastic shoe covers are not just suitable for medical environments. Plastic shoe covers can be worn to protect shoes from rain or harsh weather conditions. Snow, ice, sludge, and salt can damage leather or dress sues. Plastic shoe covers can also be used to protect the carpeting in areas that receive a high amount of foot traffic.
