ISRAEL CO NANO TEXTILE UNVEILS ANTIBACTERIAL FABRIC:
Posted onIsraeli company Nano Textile has introduced an innovative technology that can transfer any type of fabric to one that kills bacteria. The unique, cost effective technology, which permanently prevents the growth of bacteria on both natural and synthetic fibers, can prevent the spread of hospital-acquired infections and reduce cross contamination between patients and medical staff, thus significantly reducing secondary infections. The technology transforms any ready-made fabric into antibacterial textile by embedding zinc-oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles onto the fabric. ZnO is known for its antibacterial properties and has been approved by the FDA as safe. Nanoparticles of ZnO eradicate even antibiotic resistant bacteria such as MRSA. The technology, which has been patented in the USA and Israel, and is awaiting approval in Europe and Asia, was developed by Professor Aharon Gedanken at Bar Ilan University, Israel.
