While the smooth fibres of Medical Silk promote healing to the irritated skin the Antimicrobial™ acts by killing the bacteria that causes infections on the surface of the skin.
On direct contact with a micro-organism (bacteria and fungus) the Antimicrobial™ physically disrupts the cell membrane, there is no chemical reaction to the process therefore the micro-organism cannot develop resistance to DermaSilk®. The Microbe Shield™ is permanently bonded to the silk fibre, it doesn’t washes out, providing continuing protection and prevention to further flares up in the skin over the life span of the garment.
