THE CHALLENGE
THE CHALLENGE
The nature of bacteria allows for constant growth and mutation, which has led to their ever-growing resistance to antibiotics and other related chemicals.
OUR STRATEGY
OUR STRATEGY
The QUANTFIBRE Antipathogenic Technology, is ultralight, breathable fabric with individual quantfibres made up of antimicrobial and radiation-shielding nanomaterial. What the nanomaterial does, is radically alter the environment within the textile to kill the bacteria in a manner that does not allow them to develop resistance. It is a natural defence mechanism of nature, to combat bacteria, by shredding the cell and disseminating its contents thus, neutralizing any threat of mutation that could build resistance.
BENEFITS
BENEFITS
The QUANTFIBRE itself, is a very gentle fabric, with ultrafine fibres roughly 1000 times thinner than a hair strand and yet, densely woven to filter out microbes, while still being breathable. The fabric can be wrapped around wounds to prevent infection and stabilize blood pH, so as to foster healing and promote re-epithelialization (skin formation). This is particularly critical for the healing of ulcers in diabetic patients, bed sores acquired in chronic patients, surgical incisions, etc.
Now, imagine the product being integrated within textiles to make scrubs for doctors, nursers, protective masks, beds of premature babies, sheets in hospitals and even in homes. Seats in cars, planes, buses, athlete and astronaut apparel, water and gas filter membranes etc. Bandages for first aid kits, early responders to accidents and disaster relief sites. Last but not least, the system can be designed to provide self-sanitising footwear for diabetics, as a preventive strategy towards risk of dangerous acute infections, that could lead to amputations.
The antimicrobial and antifungal properties of the antipathogenic quantfibre system are designated to serve as self-sanitising footwear: a preventive/protective strategy for diabetic patients, to minimise the risk of dangerous acute infections, that could render circumstances for an amputation.
