A new kind of workwear that protects the wearer against microorganisms and body fluids is now available at the VESTEX Protects Store which was recently launched at Amazon Market Place.
It’s designed for professionals at the risk of unwanted exposure to microorganisms, body fluids, and other infections substances. The workwear has been approved by the FDA and aims to better protect healthcare workers and professionals operating in environments prone to microbiological contamination.
“For those employed in healthcare settings, poultry and meat processing, the food, restaurant or hospitality industries, protection from disease-causing bacteria, viruses and contaminated fluids is more critical than ever. The VESTEX Protects Amazon store provides these workers access to scientifically proven, effective, and safe workwear that is FDA Cleared to provide microbial protection to keep people safe,” said Ben Favret, Founder & CEO of VESTEX® Protects.
The coronavirus pandemic has made it abundantly clear that the current healthcare uniforms like scrubs, lab coats, pants, shirts & blouses aren’t sufficient to keep the doctors, nurses, hospital staff, and childcare workers safe.
They needed something more advanced to keep themself safe and comfortable in highly contagious working environments. And that’s what led to the development of this microorganism & body-fluid resistant workwear by VESTEX.
Till now, VESTEX apparel was only available to healthcare workers of major health systems. But with the launch of VESTEX Protects Store on Amazon, it’s expected to be more readily available.
About VESTEX
VESTEX®, is the first of a new class of FDA 510(k) Cleared Active Barrier protective apparel combining antimicrobial, fluid repellent and comfort properties. The Association of Professionals in Infection Control (APIC) likens clothing to “a virtual conveyer belt for infection.” VESTEX fabric is designed to protect uniforms and work apparel by reducing the acquisition, retention and transmission of microorganisms on clothing. Based on the research reviewed by the FDA, VESTEX earned an exclusive endorsement from the American Hospital Association (AHA) in 2015 following the proprietary AHA Signature Due Diligence Process. Recent studies concluded VESTEX is more effective than conventional uniforms at repelling fluids and reducing the retention of methicillin-resistant staph on the fabric.

The ability of VESTEX to reduce the retention of MRSA on the fabric surface has not been shown to correlate with the reduction of infections. Clinical studies to evaluate reduction in infection have not been performed for this device. VESTEX Apparel is not intended to replace personal protective equipment.
