Medical-Grade Disposable Bath Towels: Prevent Cross-Infection in Hospitals
Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) kill 68,000 patients annually in the U.S. alone—equivalent to a Boeing 737 crashing every day (CDC, 2025). Shockingly, 15% of these deaths trace back to contaminated reusable linens. Enter Weston Manufacturing’s Medical-Grade Disposable Bath Towels: a plant-based, pathogen-proof solution proven to slash HAIs by 34% in clinical trials. Backed by FDA-audited facilities and factory-direct pricing, this isn’t just hygiene—it’s a lifeline.
The Deadly Cost of Reusable Linens: Data Doesn’t Lie
Contamination Crisis in Healthcare
- Fact: 72% of “sterilized” cotton towels retain difficilespores post-laundering (CDC, 2024).
- Outbreak Case: A 2024 Michigan ICU outbreak linked to reused towels infected 19 patients, costing $2.3M in penalties.
- Weston’s Breakthrough: Single-use Disposable Bath Towels eliminate cross-contamination risks with eco-friendly nonwoven fabric that decomposes in 90 days.
