DermaSilk Therapeutic Clothing is
classed as a Medical Device and is very different to shop-bought silk. The
garments are made from low friction, non-irritant cylindrical threads of
hypo-allergenic sericin-free silk, which are knitted to give them breathability
and protected with an antimicrobial to keep the fabric free of bacterial contamination.
In addition, DermaSilk Intimo is made
using only 4% elastane, which is carefully woven within the silk yarn so that
only the silk comes into contact with the skin. The briefs also require no
extra elastication around the waist or legs and their seamless design makes
them ideal for use under close fitting clothes.
How do DermaSilk briefs work?
Not all underwear is made equally
The fabrics commonly used in underwear
(and panty liners) - such as rayon, nylon, lycra, polyester and even cotton and
low-grade silk - can be an ideal habitat for the growth of potentially harmful
micro-organisms because they provide a dangerous combination of warmth,
moisture, and nourishment. The use of conventional antibacterials such as
triclosan and ionic silver in products to protect against this contamination
may not be appropriate since they release chemical substances that can be
absorbed through the skin.
By contrast, the antimicrobial
permanently bonded to DermaSilk only acts on microbes that come into direct
contact with the fabric and is not released from the fabric onto the skin. This
antimicrobial inhibits the growth of contaminating bacteria and fungi without
altering the natural flora of the skin and mucosa. It acts by attracting
organisms to it and physically rupturing the microbe's outer cell membrane,
destroying it instantly.
DermaSilk is not like any other silk
garments that you can buy from shops. Standard, shiny woven silk does now allow
the free movement of air and has not been shown in controlled clinical trails
to perform in the same way as DermaSilk. DermaSilk is clinically proven.
