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.

Military
- The National Defense Authorization Act encourages the Department of Defense to incorporate the effective use of emerging technologies, including innovative textile products designed to reduce the chance of spreading infections in healthcare settings where appropriate.
- The Milcon/Veterans Affairs Appropriations Bill encourages the Department of Defense to incorporate the use of current commercially available active barrier technologies by healthcare workers and patients that have been proven to be effective in the medical care setting.
- The Defense Appropriations Bill encourages the Department of Defense to incorporate commercially available, effective technologies, including innovative textile products, to reduce opportunities for spreading infections in healthcare settings.

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.

VESTEX fluid-repellent, antimicrobial and moisture wicking performance adds a new line of defense for workers put at risk by these hazards.
- 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.
