DermaSilk Therapeutic Clothing is made of knitted medical grade silk which has been stripped of its outer coating and bonded with Microbe Shield technology. It is far superior to cotton because it retains up to 30 % of its own weight in moisture without feeling damp.
DermaSilk is unique in that it maintains a stable moisture balance on the skin whether its worn on warm or cold days. All the garments in the DermaSilk range are capable of absorbing moisture without causing irritation to the skin. Used as part of the normal treatment programme, DermaSilk helps reduce the terrible 'itch-scratch cycle' and because its special knitted construction allows the free movement of air through the fabric, this allows the skin to breathe more easily and promotes faster healing.
This unique range of garments becomes like a 'second skin' thus reducing the potential for surface friction to a minimum.
DermaSilk is specially bonded with an antimicrobial shield which has been used in hospitals for over 20 years. Its use in operating theatre fabrics has proved its ability to inhibit bacterial and fungal growth on fabric. DermaSilk fabric is therefore ideal for use in the treatment of aggravated skin conditions.
The possibility of bacterial resistance developing is limited because the shield physically damages the microbe cell walls rather than killing them by chemical means.
The antimicrobial is colourless and odourless and because the DermaSilk range of garments has been designed for frequent washing, it is still highly effective even after 50 washes.
DermaSilk has been shown in published clinical trials to be superior to cotton in controlling itching and scratching and its effectiveness has even been compared favourably with steroid cream.
Recommended by Dermatologists and Allergy specialists throughout Europe, DermaSilk is the only natural therapeutic clothing to have been shown in published clinical trials, to improve the healing of eczematous skin – irrespective of what other medicinal creams are applied with it.
