Be Aware Common Floor Problems

Common Floor Problems You Maybe Experiencing:

Seamed Rubber Flooring:  if you’re reading this, then you most likely have the "old-dog" on the market:  seamed flooring.  You are probably well aware that your floor has stains, gouges, rips and tears.  Did you also know that it is a Bio-hazard?  Every damage to the floor creates a host to biological matter.  Consider all the operations you do on that floor, and despite repeated wash downs, YOUR health and YOUR patients health is in jeopardy due to danger biological matter that can easily be aerated.SurgiTec eliminates this concern.

Epoxy Fooring:  If you reading this, you may have heard of this being an option, but may be careful! You see, Epoxy flooring is very hard, can be tough on the feet after a long duration of standing. Epoxy can stain when exposed to Betadine based products.  Epoxy is also UV sensitive. Thus, your any new Epoxy floor will yellow under UV light. Epoxies also have a tendency to chip, which will create a host to biological matter. 

MMA Flooring:  Beware of this system!  Some companies try to compare their product against Surgitec and even boast that it can be done in less time.  Stay Away.  Methylmetacrylate is similar substances used in bone operations and will dissolve into itself.  It has a high odor as well.  So guess what happens, when an operation is performed repairing bone and it is dropped on the floor - it immediately dissolves into itself becoming a permanent fixture to the floor.In addition, the odor created by MMA is harsh and not suitable for the Medical Industry, regardless of what competitor salesman may say.

Rubberized Terrazzo:  Here is a new product on the market. However, we have to go back to what happens with seamed flooring. If the floor can be compromised, then biological matter can foster, creating a terrible contamination.
