We are proud to announce that both our FaceShield and best practice guidelines have been endorsed by the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA), the peak professional body representing the interests of Australian physiotherapists and their patients.
This endorsement cements Purifas’ position as an industry leader in the development of hygiene solutions for physiotherapists that also benefit the physiotherapy community as a whole.

“The APA welcomes Purifas to our partner network and we identified that Purifas fills a much needed category being a hygiene solution provider. Their FaceShield has been endorsed and is accompanied by their best practice guidelines. We encourage all APA members, when utilising treatment tables, to consider the use of the FaceShield. (APA members who are new to the Purifas range are eligible for a discounted price offer.)” Glenn Lloyd — Manager, Partnerships & Business Development, Australian Physiotherapy Association |
For a product (or service) to be endorsed by the APA it must adhere to their stringent set of requirements, which serves to ensure the product is indeed fit for purpose. To give just a few examples:
Endorsement only occurs after a two-part process of detailed inspection and assessment carried out by an expert review panel. As a result, both therapists and consumers alike can be assured that APA-endorsed products have been fully evaluated and provide excellent quality, value and security.
A product endorsement from the APA provides relevant professional endorsement to assist the consumer in identifying products of therapeutic benefit.
Swap your paper and towel coverings for a safer, softer and more environmentally friendly option. Our FaceShield is the best swap you’ll make.
Based on current research and evidence, our APA-endorsed best practice guidelines provide clear hygiene standards for therapy professionals who have a duty of care to their customers.
Ensuring top-notch hygiene in therapy and allied health settings is vital for client safety. Shared equipment can easily lead to cross-contamination without strict hygiene protocols. Towels, frequently used in these environments, can harbour bacteria even after washing, posing risks to both clients and therapists. This guide will help you understand these risks, avoid common mistakes and implement the best hygiene practices, all while being environmentally conscious.
