Vestex was developed by Orlando-based Vestagen Technical Textiles. Its patented technology repels blood and bodily fluids, and contains an antimicrobial that protects the fabric from degradation due to microorganisms. In addition, Vestex is breathable, perspiration-wicking and naturally self-cleaning, helping to keep medical personnel clean, cool and dry.
“This research validates the plausibility of new standards for medical textiles to better protect health care workers and patients,” said Ben Favret, president and CEO of Vestagen. “There are strict textile standards to protect health care workers in operating rooms, but not outside of the operating room where there are many splashes, splatters and spills. But because personal protection apparel is generally uncomfortable, compliance is often as low as 30 to 50 percent. The results of these studies are encouraging because they suggest that Vestex can provide protection as well as comfort, making compliance easier.”
The Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America advances the science of health care epidemiology and infection prevention by addressing a variety of quality-of-care issues.
