Sure-Chek®: Antimicrobial Healthcare Fabrics

Sure-Chek® brand medical fabrics from Herculite® are the original healthcare fabrics engineered for protective covering fabrics in medical environments. Developed in cooperation with healthcare professionals, Sure-Chek® fabrics incorporate a proprietary antimicrobial additive. This controlled release feature effectively allows the antimicrobial agent to migrate to the fabric surface for the product's life. The antimicrobial agent helps protect the fabric from microbial attack and reduces undesirable organic odors providing surface protection that is comfortable, safe, durable, and effective for use in health care facilities, acute care, long-term care, correctional facilities, camps, dormitories and rehabilitation centers.
