Nano Textile developed technology that prevents bacteria growth on natural and synthetic fibers, according to a News-Medical report.
Here are three quick points:
1. The technology embeds zinc-oxide nanoparticles onto any readymade fabric, thereby converting it into an antibacterial textile.
2. These antibacterial fabrics can help mitigate the spread of hospital-acquired infections and minimize cross contamination between patients and medical staff.
3. The technology has been patented in the United States and Israel, and it is awaiting approval in Europe and Asia.
