Advatex Healthcare Range

Cutting edge technology works in harmony with style, as a range of Biz Corporate classics get the advantage of bacteria control.

ADVATEX by Biz Corporates heralds a new era in infection control. Designed specifically for Healthcare and Aged Care environments, ADVATEX limits the spread of bacteria from care giver to patient via their workplace apparel. The technology behind ADVATEX was developed from the long-proven history that the element silver has a bacteriostatic effect. To create ADVATEX the element Silver has been converted into a Silver Compound, this highly efficient, microscopic compound is then applied to our textiles via a unique coating procedure. Once coated the ADVATEX fabric is able to not only resist bacteria, but actively eliminate it.

The range of 8 bacteria tested for the ADVATEX range is as follows:

- Staphyllococcus aureaus
- Methicillin Resistant Staphyllococcus aureaus (MRSA)
- Escherichia coli (Ecoli)
- Klebsiella pneumonia
- Listeria moncytogenes
- Entrobacter aerogenes
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- Corynebacterium xerosis

ADVATEX will control the above bacteria strains with an effectiveness of between 80% and 99%. Textiles are tested at 40°C across 40+ washes, knitwear is tested at 40°C cross 30+ washes. (Bacterial control, as described above, for the life of the garment can be extended by using an ADVATEX Booster additive)
