Preventing MRSA in your practice

MRSA - A serious threat to your patients and your practice.

Recent data show that Americans visit the doctor approximately 12 million times each year to get checked for suspected Staph or MRSA skin infection. Studies also demonstrate that MRSA spreads quickly though hospitals and clinics, threatening your patients, your staff, and your bottom line through potential liability.

...nearly 19,000 people died from MRSA infections in 2005. Almost all of these deaths occurred among people who were being treated or had recently been treated in hospitals or other health care settings"
--Centers for Disease Control

MRSA spreads quickly, and is considered a "superbug" - resistant to most antibiotics. Treating MRSA is difficult - the best treatment is prevention.

Alarmingly, traditional prevention methods such as cleaning surfaces with disinfectant cleaner are having little effect, and some believe we are simply increasing resistance in strains of MRSA - actually making the problem worse:

...antibacterial cleaning products may be making the situation worse by spurring the resistance of germs."
--Centers for Disease Control

Gentera - part of a comprehensive MRSA strategy.

At Gentera, we're proud of the many relationships we have with physicians, researchers and health care management professionals. You have guided us in the development of products, and many of our "customers" have become valued friends and advisors. When discussing the MRSA crises with you, we realized we can be a critical part of your MRSA strategy.

Table and Equipment Covers from Gentera.

You wouldn't perform a procedure without latex gloves. Gentera Table Covers are simply "gloves for your gear". Cheap, compact to store, non-allergenic and disposable, our table covers protect your staff and patients from infection.

Table covers aren't much of a "profit center" for a medical equipment manufacturer. But we feel their value is tremendous when it comes to protecting patients and physicians from dangerous infection. That's why we've dropped prices on our line of Sonesta Table Covers - covers for seat cushions, foot and leg rests, even for your remote controls. (And we are now developing covers for the entire Gentera line as well).

While not a replacement for things as basic as hand washing and disinfection, table covers are a vital part of an overall protection strategy. Contact us today to learn more about this basic, but extremely effective part of your MRSA strategy. Additionally, table covers protect your equipment investment from stains and moisture buildups which can cause rust and parts failure.
