Another major step forward for COCA endorsed products

All products endorsed by the College that are manufactured by Joyce Foam Products have been treated with Healthguard. This includes the foam and the Jacquard ticking used in both the CHIRO-OSTEO and the CHATTAM & WELLS beds.

Healthguard has now been registered with the National Registration Authority as was recorded in the October edition of Bedding Magazine.

This is what the bedding magazine published:

National Registration Authority approval for Healthguard

HealthGuard, the Australian developed method of reducing dust mites and their associated pathogens, has now been registered with the National Registration Authority.

“HealthGuard anti dust mite / anti microbial treatments are currently the only product of this kind to have National Registration Authority approval,” says Dr Chris Harvey. “The NRA approval for our anti dust mite treatment sets us apart from other treatments, which claim dust mite control. “HealthGuard anti dust mite treatment kills the cause of the pathogens, the dust mite.”

The HealthGuard treatment has been through a full assessment by the NRA, which includes environmental assessment, efficacy, occupational health and safety, chemistry and residues, toxicity and therapeutic goods reviews.

“We had to prove our product was safe, reliable and effective,” said Dr Harvey. “HealthGuard anti dust mite and anti microbial treatments have achieved the distinction of being the market leader in safe dust mite inhibition, no tributyltin oxide is used in the products.

“Furniture manufacturers can specify that their construction materials, foam, fabric and polyester fillings are treated with HealthGuard anti dust mite/ anti microbial treatments and they can rest assured they are using a safe, reliable Australian product which kills dust mites and inhibits bacterial growth.”

HealthGuard preferred users are Bekaert Australia, Leading Synthetics and Joyce Foam Products.

Bedding products endorsed by the College are treated with Healthguard and are therefore not only good for posture but will assist in control of allergies and asthma.
