What is special about our products?

Our products are normal day-to-day items of clothing, bed-linen, towels, etc., that have been subjected to a special patented process that gives them the power to kill bacteria, fungus and viruses that cause foot odour, itchiness, sores and other skin problems and infections. Because they are completely natural and contain no chemicals, they are totally non-toxic.

How do they work?

Very small particles of 99.99% pure silver are infused in the fabric. These particles are only a few millionths of a millimetre in size, so small that they can only be seen through very powerful microscopes. Within these particles exist silver ions, which are basically silver atoms with an electron missing. The ions "scavenge" electrons from micro-organisms such as bacteria, fungus and viruses, killing them on contact.

Why silver?

Silver has been used in medical and therapeutic situations for hundreds of years. It is used in bandages to prevent infection on bad cuts, lesions and burns. It is used in many antibacterial creams/ointments, eye-drops, tooth-fillings, and also in water purification systems. In all of these cases however, silver has been used in different compounds or solutions – eg. silver nitrate, silver sulfadiazine, etc.

If silver has been used for so long, why are these products such a new idea?

The cost of putting pure silver into products such as ours in the past would have been prohibitive. However with the latest advances in “nanometer technology”, it is now possible to produce incredibly small particles of pure silver that are infused in the material.

I am allergic to silver jewellery - could I be allergic to your products?

Some people are allergic to silver jewellery, but silver jewellery is actually made of sterling silver which is an alloy. The allergies in fact come from the other metals in the alloy, not from the silver. There have been no documented cases of allergies to pure silver, so it is extremely unlikely our products will cause any allergic reaction.

How long do they last and what happens when I wash them?

Because the silver is infused in the material, it will not wash out. In fact in many cases the antibacterial effect will outlive the products themselves.

What testing has been carried out to prove the antibacterial effectiveness?

All our products have undergone extensive laboratory tests to international standards, confirming their effectiveness against bacteria and fungi such as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). In all cases the results show that greater than 99.9% of all bacteria are destroyed within 24 hours.

Are your products comfortable to wear?

Yes – because the silver particles are so small, it is impossible to feel them.
