The Solution
Infusing silk or bamboo fibers with silver is clinically proven to eliminate up to 99.7% of bacteria.
- Silver comes into contact with bacteria .
- Silver releases ions .
- The ions enter the bacteria .
- They react with internal enzymes .
- Enzymes that conjugate with silver lose their functionality .
