Silpure is the next generation in personal protection. 

Our Lab Coats are not only manufactured using the finest poly cotton fabric, but our yarn is treated with Silpure.  Silpure is an active ingredient which makes the yarn bacteriostatic.  A silver ion additive is permanently embedded into the yarn's polymer matrix within each fiber.  Because the yarn is an inherent part of the fabric structure, it will not wash or wear out and offers antimicrobial protection for the life of the garment.  Since Silpure kills odor-causing bacteria,  Lab Coats treated with SilPure leave you feeling cleaner and fresher.  Reducing microbial growth in healthcare environments is the goal of any dental or medical professional.

Textiles treated with Silpure are 100% safe for humans and do not affect allergies.  Silpure has an extensive list of Regulatory Approvals and it is environmentally friendly and non-toxic.   Silpure treatment will not be affected by laundering provided temperatures remain under 130° F.

The Lab Coats come in both knee (41'') or staff (39'') length and have seams that are safety stiched and stress points that are reinforced, to ensure durability.  Our garments are softer, stronger, and more opaque than the leading competition. You get all this, plus the protection of Silpure, for just about what you're paying now for ordinary lab coats.  As with all Defend products, Silpure treated Lab Coats come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

NOTE: This list is only intended to give examples of the many types of micro-organisms that the Silpure products have been shown to inhibit in laboratory testing. The organisms used in the testing are those for which standardized cultures are freely available for laboratory study. Although some of these organisms are associated with pathogenic conditions, no health claims are made or implied concerning Silpure products. Silpure products are only intended to confer antimicrobial protection to treated articles, not to protect the people who are using them.
