"We can't eliminate all single-use PPE, but we can innovate our way to making it more sustainable through the use of better materials and improved processes which could reduce the carbon footprint by 75%. Tecman focuses on manufacturing using low carbon footprint processes and using biomaterials to make PPE as sustainable as possible, while ensuring it still meets the required specification." Kevin Porter advocates that the NHS should leverage its substantial purchasing power to demand more sustainable materials in PPE manufacturing, prioritising environmental standards in procurement.

Are your face shields comfortable enough for all-day use? Did you know that Tecman’s face shields are specifically designed for all-day comfort? During the design phase, we consulted healthcare workers who highlighted comfort as a top priority. We then incorporated this feedback into the development of our British-made, lightweight face shield, which is ergonomically designed to offer maximum protection and long-lasting comfort. Our Tecman Face Shield provides safe and effective face and eye protection with the highest levels of comfort and provide additional, long-term comfort and durability.

"Reusable gowns, goggles, face shields, and N95 surgical masks all offer less severe environmental consequences while preserving safety. With increased demand relative to the pre-pandemic period expected to continue, and additional surges anticipated with future pandemics, adopting reusable PPE may increase resilience to PPE shortages during future public health emergencies, in addition to creating considerable environmental benefit" An article in the British Medical Journal looks at why it's necessary to move away from disposable PPE and reviews the evidence for reusable PPE being a superior solution; improving sustainability and reducing costs. A comprehensive and thorough framework is recommended in the article, that is designed to help guide healthcare organisations towards initiating a transition to reusable PPE. We're strong proponents of the significant benefits of reusable PPE, such as the Optec® Reusable Face Shield System, and we appreciate the authors for providing a framework that helps healthcare organisations switch to reusable PPE and reduce single-use waste.

PPE and effective infection control are integral to the safe delivery of modern dentistry. This has been demonstrated in a study published in the British Dental Journal earlier this year, that investigated the specific sources of bacteria found on the exterior of used dental masks and then correlated them with samples taken from patients' mouth prior to the treatment. The study analysed the masks worn by dental professionals in 126 treatments, all involving aerosol producing activities, and found oral microoganisms originating from the patient's mouth on the exterior of 26.2% of the dental masks. These findings add further tangible evidence to the real cross contamination risk presented by aerosol producing dental procedures and underlines the importance of consistently following PPE and infection control guidelines .

Today is World Patient Safety day which aims to champion the safety of healthcare patients world wide. This year the focus is on improving patient diagnosis with the slogan: 'Get it right, make it safe!'. Improving patient diagnosis involves effective collaboration between the patient and their healthcare team to avoid inaccuracies and errors at every stage of the process to reach the final diagnosis. Since launching our range of advanced face and eye protection in 2020, we've focused deeply on the protection of staff and patients. Our consultations with healthcare professionals highlighted the impact that PPE has, not only on the ability to care for patients comfortably and competently, but also on the ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with patients. As a result, we designed our PPE with an end-user approach that puts healthcare professionals at the heart of design & development.
