Reducing Infections
The use of CareBag®, in combination with other best practices such as proper hand hygiene, led to a 30%1 to 50%2 reduction in C. diff cases, according to independent studies and facility observations. Because the average healthcare-acquired C. diff case costs $34,157,3 hospitals realize significant cost savings for every case prevented.

Driving Innovation
In the 1990s, a French physician told his inventor son that there must be a better way to manage patient waste. Together they designed the innovative CareBag® liner and super-absorbent pad. This award-winning product — which follows the CDC’s protocol of effectively managing hazards — has become the standard of care by the French Ministry of Health and other U.S. and international health authorities.
