While the scrubs currently available today may claim to be antimicrobial, they are using an incorrect standard that was set by the activewear industry
LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Ouragins is reinventing the world of healthcare with their tech-driven scrubs. The high tech medical uniform company is upgrading the wardrobe of healthcare professionals by infusing germ-killing copper into all of their scrubs.
Antimicrobial scrubs today use antiquated silver coatings, the same technology present in activewear. However, this technology is ineffective for a hospital setting since silver requires hot, wet environments to be most effective at reducing germs.
“Antimicrobial silver coatings work great on a sweat soaked gym shirt,” said Shaun Veran, microbiologist and CEO at Ouragins. “But in a cold, clinical setting, it is wholly inadequate at reducing the presence of germs and it puts healthcare professionals at risk for infection.”
Highlighting the inadequacy of the current scrubs technology, Ouragins ran an independent lab test with the leading competitor scrubs and the results revealed a 22% reduction of germs after 2 hours, far below the 99% benchmark.
Ouragins aims to address the problem of low-quality scrubs with a revolutionary antimicrobial technology: ThreadFusion. The Ouragins scrubs made with this copper-based infusion technology have been shown to kill 99% of germs after just 2 hours. These independent tests reveal ThreadFusion to be 4x more effective at reducing germs compared to the existing market.
“While the scrubs currently available today may claim to be antimicrobial, they are using an incorrect standard that was set by the activewear industry – germ reduction after 24 hours,” continued Veran. “But reducing 99% of germs after 24 hours is terrible for scrubs. At this point, a healthcare professional has carried any germs to patients, staff, and back home to their families”
Ouragins is serving 20+ million healthcare workers across the US with the more efficient antimicrobial scrubs. A vast majority of healthcare workers (85%) purchase their own scrubs with 65% of them owning at least 6 pairs. This results in a recession-resistant market for the $94 billion industry. Ouragins is currently raising money in an equity crowdfunding campaign.
