Introduction
At the forefront of healthcare innovation, our antimicrobial textile coatings offer robust protection for products, people, and the environment. Driven by world-leading antimicrobial technology, these textiles are meticulously engineered to empower healthcare facilities, fostering a safer and more hygienic environment for both patients and medical professionals.
Why Antimicrobial Textiles ?
Bacterial contamination in health and aged care facilities presents significant challenges, especially for elderly or individuals with weakened immune systems. The heightened risk of infections spreading is compounded by antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains like MRSA, adding complexity to cleaning and sanitization protocols.
Example: A recent 2023 study [1] on privacy curtains revealed alarming contamination rates, with;
- 92% of newly installed curtains showed contamination within one week,
- 95% demonstrating bacterial presence on at least one occasion,
- 21% with MRSA,
- 42% with VRE.
Another study in 2023 [2] concluded that MRSA can persist on textiles and transfer to skin even at low concentrations over a 6 hour period, implicating textiles as vectors of bacterial spread.
Our Antimicrobial Textile Solution
We entrust healthcare and aged care settings with the care of our loved ones during vulnerable times. Our antimicrobial technology can create a healthcare environment where every textile actively contributes to infection prevention, setting new standards for patient care, safety, and well-being.
When our antimicrobial technology is applied to textiles, it actively inhibits the growth of harmful microorganisms.
Key Benefits:
- Highly Effective Independently tested to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, including MRSA, E. coli, S. aureus, Human Coronavirus, Influenza, and odor-causing bacteria.
- Longer-Lasting Solution: Our non-leaching antimicrobial technology is seamlessly embedded into the fabric, creating a long-lasting antimicrobial effect proven to remain effective for 50+ washes.
- Prolonged Life of Products: Antimicrobials can also extend the life of products, preventing the buildup of odor and mold.
Versatile Application
Our antimicrobial textiles find versatile applications across various healthcare settings, including medical-grade textiles for protecting vulnerable patients and medical personnel from potentially fatal nosocomial infections. Additionally, they are ideal for upholstery and furnishings, such as curtains and chairs, in aged care facilities.
