MIAMI, Fla -- Jobwerx News -- Polymer Group, Inc. introduced its new MediSoft™ fabrics that combine softness and barrier properties to give healthcare workers greater comfort while maintaining a high level of protection.

The new MediSoft™ fabrics exhibit a 50 percent increase in softness over standard spunmelt fabrics used in medical applications, according to the company's internal test results. The new fabrics also exceed industry standards for protection against fluids for the class of applications for which they are targeted.

"The improved softness of MediSoft™ fabrics provides the high barrier protection of spunmelt combined with the softness, drapability and breathability the industry demands," said James L. Schaeffer, PGI's chief executive officer.

Both comfort and protection are key concerns for healthcare workers globally. With today's concerns surrounding the potential of cross infections the medical industry has been moving toward fabrics with higher fluid barriers achieved through the spunmelt process to protect healthcare workers. But garments made from these fabrics can be stiff and uncomfortable, particularly after extended use.

"MediSoft™ fabrics give PGI the ability to offer the comfort and convenience of spunlace fabrics with the higher protection and cost advantages of spunmelt technology," said Schaeffer.
