Shoe covers are disposable fabric barriers designed to protect both patients and healthcare workers from contamination. They create a physical shield over shoes to block microorganisms, body fluids, and debris, ensuring cleanliness in clinical settings like exam rooms or operating theaters.
These devices are typically single-use and may feature conductive materials to reduce static electricity hazards. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as low-risk medical devices due to their protective purpose and minimal direct patient contact.
