Descripción del proyecto
The World Health Organisation has identified that there are many textiles items used in hospitals being the main cause for Nosocomial infections (Hospital Acquired Infections-HAI). Nosocomial infections are one of a major global health concern being related with hospitals’ used textiles to be one of its primary causes. Nosocomial infections can result in prolonged hospital stays, long-term disability, and increased resistance of microorganisms to antimicrobials, therefore it presents massive additional costs for health systems, high costs for patients and their family, and unnecessary deaths. In Europe alone every year about 5 million patients suffer from a Nosocomial infection out of which about 50,000 people may die, causing an annual financial burden of €7 Billion in direct costs.
Healthy-Textile is a breakthrough powerful and permanent Zinc-oxide Antibacterial coating for Textiles based on the physical phenomena Cavitation - a High velocity implosion of voids/bubbles inside of a liquid solution, resulting in powerful micro jet-streams of over 500 meters/second which are impregnating the required chemistry molecules onto Textile fibers (Sono-Coating).
Nano Textile’s technology is considered to be a game changer in the sense that for the first time in the world (patented), there is an effective Antibacterial coating for all Medical Textiles which is durable for Industrial washings, cost effective, and applicable to all Textile types. Healthy-Textile will prevent the spread of infectious diseases by eliminating bacteria, viruses and fungus, and even antibiotics resistant bacteria, and can transform any fabric into a protective shield against HAI for the patient. The patented technology permanently prevents the growth of bacteria on both natural and synthetic fabrics, prevent the spread of HAI and can reduce cross contamination between patients and medical staff.
