Clinical Care | Eco-Friendly Products that Help Sustain and Improve Health

About

Many clinical care products aid in sustaining and improving patient health, but will sit in landfills for hundreds of years, leaking toxic micro-plastic into the environment. MDS offers options that not only improve and sustain patient health, but our environment and the air we breathe as well. In the United States alone, 1 Billion toothbrushes are disposed of annually, equaling 50 Million pounds of plastic waste sitting in our landfills and taking 400+ years to decompose. Shop our selection of Orabrite® Bamboo toothbrushes. Individually wrapped in recyclable paper, these toothbrushes are constructed of biodegradable moso bamboo handle and recyclable nylon-6 bristles. With that, 100 billion pairs of gloves are disposed of annually as well and take 200+ years to decompose. Offering some of the newest glove technologies, SW’s EcoTek® Technology and SHOWA’s Eco-Best Technology (EBT) are both certified for accelerated biodegradation in landfills per ASTM D5526 testing standard.
