Why Specialized Fabric for Healthcare?

The type of fabric is the most essential thing to the healthcare apparel industry; it has strived to bring the most advanced technologies in producing the high tech, specialized fabrics for different needs in the healthcare industry. 

Stain Release Fabric 

• What is it? This widely used fabric is the final combination of numerous microfibers and these microfibers are found to be 10 times finer than silk, 30 times finer than cotton, 40 times finer than wool, and 100 times finer than human hair. (see the magnified picture of microfibers in front of human hair). 

• Since the microfiber strands are smaller than many types of stain agents and some bacteria; therefore, the stain is kept on the surface and can be easily washed away with water or mild soap. 

• In addition to its high level of stain release, the stain release fabric is found to be very comfortable for the wearers and is lightweight, soft, breathable, and durable. It’s ideal for healthcare professionals to wear in different types of weather and work environments. 

Water & Stain Release Fabric 

• Nanotechnology method for making the clothing you wear at work more water and stain resistant.

• Nanotechnology; is the technology that functions at chemo-physical levels in the nanometric dimension, which operates with a unit of one billion a meter. To make it easier for you to visualize, a nanometer is 100,000 times thinner than a strand of your human hair. 

• In working with nanotechnology to make clothing more water and stain resistant, some companies turn to studying the self-cleaning process of lotus leaf while others take the cues from peaches. And both ideas turn out to be successful in creating healthcare clothing with much higher levels of water and stain resistance. 

• The water and stain-resistant fabric repels liquid and doesn’t get wet easily. The fabric helps retains the quality of the garment longer. This fabric is by far very comfortable and durable. It is used widely in industries/ environments that require excellent levels of water and stain resistance:

1. Medical sectors
2. Lab staff in hospitals or research laboratories
3. Maintenance staff in the engineering industry
4. Housekeeping staff in the hospital and hospitality industry
5. Restaurant and kitchens staff
6. Automobile, Cleaning, and Maintenance services, Spa, and others 

Anti-bacteria Fabric 

• Traditionally, bacteria and gems are the top-notch concerns in the healthcare and medical sectors. To improve the quality of healthcare clothing advanced technologies are used to incorporate antimicrobial yarn into the fiber. 

• The yarn contains the active ingredient, which makes the fabric bacteriostatic. 

• A silver ceramic additive is permanently embedded into the yarn’s polymer matrix within each fiber. Because the yarn is an inherent part of the fabric structure, it offers antimicrobial protection for the life of the garment including the elimination of odor-causing bacteria. 

Odor-free Fabric 

• Is designed to purify the air, and is considered to be a long-lasting, environmentally friendly solution to body odor. This odor-free fabric is commonly used in the underarm of a wide variety of garments to help professional workers feel more confident, and comfortable to perform in long hours. 

Anti-static Fabric 

• This fabric is required for work environments that are sensitive to static types of workplaces in the pharmaceutical industry, and engineering industry. This fabric also provides considerable protection for the wearers from skin burns when the clothing is in contact with flame. It is essentially used for uniforms of firefighters and safety personnel.
