Anti-MRSA silver pyjamas trialled
23rd June 2006
Pyjamas and bed linen made with silver cloth are being trialled in a hospital to help combat the MRSA superbug.
Experts at Barts and the London NHS Trust hope to prove that silver can be used to clear MRSA on the skin and thus protect vulnerable patients.
Anti-Fungal Experiment
1st June 2006
See it SAFE® Tested in Belgium
In June 2006 an experiment was conducted for Toray in Belgium to ascertain the anti-fungal properties of our 'See It Safe' fabric range.
A piece of standard polyester fabric was placed in a container of milk alongside a piece of fabric from our 'See It Safe' range.
Within 48 hours at room temperature the standard fabric exhibited severe fungal growth, whilst the 'See It safe' fabric was clear.
