An expertly designed sleepwear collection with unique added qualities and benefits developed by leading international technicians using the oldest antibiotic, Silver.
Already widely used in the health care industry, this enables the SILVER-TOUCH ® sleepwear range to offer up to 90% protection against the dangers of hospital and airborne super bugs such as M.R.S.A. and C. Difficile.
The fabric has a minimum content of 3% silver coated yarn which combines with cotton and polyester, knitted into a unique new jersey fabric. The fabric construction ensures the protection is there for the lifetime of the garment, without losing the comfortable feel.
Other benefits, using the conductive and deflective properties of silver include anti odour, anti microbial, anti static and heat balancing, thus meaning that the garments keep you cool in summer and warm in winter – ideal for all year round use.
