Milliken is manufacturing critical barrier protection fabrics to be used in gowns and head covers for healthcare professionals. Milliken reported that its new advanced medical fabrics and barriers are currently available and complement Milliken's breakthrough BioSmart antimicrobial technology used in scrubs, lab coats and hospital privacy curtains, harnessing the power of bleach to kill up to 99.9 per cent of common bacteria on contact. It is also researching and developing materials for incorporation into N95-grade masks. These new innovations complement company's existing range of products that can be used for temporary shelters in situations where it's deemed necessary to set up transitory field hospitals. These new advanced medical textiles and barriers are made in the US and a result of the company applying deep knowledge in material science to modify fabrics that would meet the critical requirements for garments worn by healthcare workers fighting the Covid-19 virus.
