🩺 Why Washable Medical-Grade Aprons Are the Smarter, Greener Choice for New Zealand Healthcare
🌿 Sustainable Protection That Lasts
In today’s healthcare and aged-care environments, sustainability and infection control must go hand-in-hand. That’s where washable medical-grade aprons make all the difference.
At Stay Dry Products NZ, we’ve developed a range of reusable aprons that deliver the same clinical-grade protection as disposables — without the waste. Each apron can be machine-washed up to 95 °C and reused hundreds of times, maintaining full waterproof performance and hygiene compliance.
A single Stay Dry apron can replace hundreds of disposable aprons every year, helping facilities cut costs and dramatically reduce landfill waste.
💰 Smarter for Budgets, Better for Operations
Washable aprons aren’t just better for the planet — they’re better for budgets.
Facilities switching from single-use to reusable protection typically see 60–75 % lifetime savings thanks to reduced reordering, lower freight costs, and simplified stock management.
They’re compatible with existing commercial laundry systems, requiring no changes to infection-control protocols — just consistent, reliable protection wash after wash.
