M A Y 2 0 1 6 • O U T PA T I E N TS U R G E R Y. N E T • 1 2 1 Fabrics That Fight Infection Prime Medical's SAF-T line of privacy curtains, scrubs, patient gowns, bed linens and towels may look like conventional healthcare textiles, but they do more than just hang around. Their patented BioSmart fabric technology harnesses the power of chlorine to kill 99.9% of the bacteria and viruses that make contact with them, says the company. A bleach wash during the manufacturing process binds chlorine molecules to the fabric's surface, which provides up to 120 days of continuous bactericidal effect. Laundering the products with EPA-registered household chlorine bleach will recharge them, with- out loss of effectiveness and without fading colors, says the company. primemedical.com
