The Hidden Costs of Ignoring Medical Gear Odor

Ignoring bad odors in your medical gear can lead to more than just unpleasant smells. It can shorten the life of your equipment, increase the risk of skin irritation, and even contribute to bacterial infections.

• Increased Replacement Costs – Gear that isn’t properly maintained wears out faster, leading to more frequent replacements.
• Health Risks – Bacteria and mold can cause skin infections and other health issues.
• Reduced Comfort – Bad odors can make you less likely to use your gear consistently, which can slow down recovery.

Bottom Line: Don’t let bad odors derail your recovery. Take care of your gear to avoid unnecessary costs and complications.
