AVAILABLE TO BUY AT THE RCN CONGRESS EXHIBITION 2013 - ARMADILLO HPi

When focussing on the healthcare market, our research has shown that whilst there is an NHS instruction regarding the use of protective clothing, including aprons, gloves, gowns and masks – there is no directive for footwear.

However, the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) do provide some “minimum standards” guidance on uniforms and workwear for employers and employees, stating that footwear should be comfortable, non-slip, have enclosed toes and provide support (sandals, clogs or shoes without heel support may not be deemed suitable when undertaking patient handling).

The Department of Health (DoH) also offer some guidance for NHS employers/employees, advising that it is “good practice” to wear soft-soled shoes (which reduce noise in ward) that are closed over the foot and toes, as closed shoes offer protection from spills and dropped objects, and open shoes risk injury or contamination for staff.

Key features:

- All day comfort

- Anti-bacterial memory foam insole

- Breathable

- Provides support

- Wear as a shoe or mule

- Great protection

- Strong needlestick-resistant upper

- Liquid/blood-borne pathogen resistant

The upper section of the Armadillo is manufactured from breathable Magnashield leather and features a neoprene collar for easy on/off. This collar can also be kicked down allowing the shoes to be worn as a clog/mule. The extremely comfortable, anti-bacterial memory foam OrthoLite® insole, proven to retain 95% of its cushioning after the first year, combined with a compression moulded EVA midsole, offers supreme cushioning and support, for instant comfort that lasts all day during long shifts.

The Armadillo features a highly slip-resistant HexTraction sole, EN tested for slip resistance to SRC standard. Designed for indoor use, the perfect balance between the softness of the compound used and the design of the tread pattern ensures maximum levels of indoor durability, grip and traction.

The entire upper of the shoe is treated with a highly technical ion-mask™ coating, originally developed by the MOD for chemical warfare defence, which protects against all forms of liquid – from blood borne pathogens to vomit, diarrhoea and urine. The Armadillo has also been subjected to the Health & Safety Executive’s rigorous needle-stick test, helping reduce a major risk for all healthcare professionals.
