VESTEX® Protection + COVID-19*

Covid-19 droplets
check mark
The FDA has established a hierarchy of descending order of resistance by which it recognizes that bacterial spores and vegetative bacteria (such as MRSA) are more resistant to kill than lipid viruses (such as Corona viruses).
check mark
Based on the hierarchy or microbial resistance, Vestex’s ability to reduce retention of MRSA on the surface of the apparel would also apply to Covid-19.
check mark
COVID-19 is spread mainly via large droplets from an infected person’s cough or sneeze. VESTEX repels fluids and significantly reduces the number of microorganisms that remain on the fabric.
check mark
The antimicrobial agent in VESTEX is a specialized EPA Registered compound on the EPA N-list for disinfecting COVID-19.
* While the FDA has yet not reviewed VESTEX ability to reduce Covid-19, preliminary research has documented results equal to or better than VESTEX reduction of MRSA. This research is being assessed analytically and VESTEX does intend to seek FDA clearance for specific claims relating to retention of Corona viruses on Vestex fabrics.

Healthcare

VESTEX scrubs, lab coats, masks and other healthcare products have been on the frontline of protecting our healthcare heroes since 2009.

  • VESTEX is first line of protection to healthcare workers in the hospital, clinic or any setting where intermittent or unexpected exposure to microorganisms from blood, body fluids and other potentially infectious material (OPIM) can occur.
  • VESTEX fluid repellency and reduction of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) on the surface of the apparel has been proven in a hospital ICU study that showed a greater than 99.99% reduction of MRSA on VESTEX apparel compared to traditional non-protective apparel. The MRSA reduction was statically significant both at the beginning and end of a 12 hour work shift.

Food Service

VESTEX fabrics repel liquids, making food service uniforms stain-resistant. Whether worn behind the food service line or by servers working tableside, VESTEX resists spills, which simply bead up and run off the fabric. Its antimicrobial performance could also be critical in food manufacturing settings, protecting workers from food hazards like listeria and other bacteria and germs.
