Health Care

Fabric That First Does No Harm

VESTEX^®-protected scrubs, lab coats, masks, and other health care products have been on the frontline protecting our healthcare heroes since 2009.

• VESTEX^® is the first line of protection to health care workers in the hospital, clinic, or any setting where intermittent or unexpected exposure to microorganisms from blood, bodily 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.

First Responders

First Response Fabric For Our Frontline Workers

Like healthcare workers, intermittent or unexpected exposure to microorganisms from blood, bodily fluids and other potentially infectious material are everyday occurrences for firefighters, EMTs, police officers, and others who protect and serve in critical environments. VESTEX^® fluid-repellent, antimicrobial, and moisture wicking performance adds a new line of defense for workers put at risk by these hazards.

Food Service

A Taste Of Innovation

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.

Home Goods

Protection From Spills, Stains And More

Adding VESTEX^® to home accessories can give you the added confidence of having a comfortable, breathable fabric that also has the ability to resist stains, liquids, and any number of viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens. Whether used for shower curtains, in children’s nurseries, or in the kitchen, VESTEX^® active barrier protection is long-lasting through 50 or more washes.

Athletic Wear

Moves Easily. Works Hard.

Comfortable, breathable, and moisture-wicking VESTEX^® can be engineered into the design of an unlimited array of athletic apparel and fitness gear for all ages. VESTEX^® gives athletes an added layer of protection in environments where sweat and bodily fluids may pose health risks during contact sports. VESTEX^® reduces the retention of MRSA and other pathogens, protecting the wearer.

Children’s Clothing

Protecting Our Youngest. Building Your Brand.

Kids are known to come in contact with germs and viruses during their day-to-day activities. Adding VESTEX^® engineering to children’s apparel will give your line an added brand appeal for parents in search of the safest clothing solutions for their youngest.

Travel

On Duty. On The Road.

VESTEX^® technology engineered into travel gear offers a lightweight protective alternative to traditional fabrics. Liquid and stain repellent, VESTEX^® also gives travelers the added benefit of antimicrobial protection, always a plus when on the road and during hotel stays.

Military

VESTEX^® Protects And Serves

Whether defending our nation on the frontline, or treating military personnel in a clinical setting, VESTEX^® fabrics protect wearers on multiple levels. VESTEX^® apparel delivers proven antimicrobial protection and fluid repellency while maintaining wearer comfort through its breathable, moisture-wicking properties. The National Defense Authorization Act, the Milcon/Veterans Affairs Appropriations Bill, and the Defense Appropriations Bill each encourage the Department of Defense to incorporate commercially available, effective technologies, including innovative textile products designed to reduce the chance of spreading infections in healthcare settings where appropriate.
