For some reason, I have been a bit fascinated by silver and its antibacterial properties. Now, in the UK, they are testing Silver pajamas (or pyjamas if you are in the UK
) in some of the hospital units. Read more about it:
Silver Pyjamas To Fight Mrsa (from This Is Local London)
Patient pyjamas made with a fabric containing threads of silver are expected to be introduced for 12 months as part of the hospital’s attempts to eliminate MRSA.The trial, which is yet to be fully approved, will test the effectiveness of the so-called See it Safe fabric developed by Toray Textiles. The Nottinghamshire-based company claim tests have shown the fabric kills 99.9 per cent of harmful bacteria in under an hour.
