Ouragins, the high tech medical uniform company, is upgrading the wardrobe of healthcare professionals by infusing germ-killing copper into all of their scrubs.

Antimicrobial scrubs today use silver coatings, the same technology present in activewear. However, this technology is ineffective for a hospital setting since silver requires hot, wet environments to be most effective at reducing germs.

“Antimicrobial silver coatings work great on a sweat soaked gym shirt,” said Shaun Veran, microbiologist and CEO at Ouragins. “But in a cold, clinical setting, it is wholly inadequate at reducing the presence of germs and it puts healthcare professionals at risk for infection.”

Ouragins aims to address the problem with a new antimicrobial technology: ThreadFusion. The Ouragins scrubs made with this copper-based infusion technology have been shown to kill 99% of germs after just 2 hours. These independent tests reveal ThreadFusion to be 4x more effective at reducing germs compared to the existing market.

Ouragins is serving 20+ million healthcare workers across the US with the more efficient antimicrobial scrubs. A vast majority of healthcare workers (85%) purchase their own scrubs with 65% of them owning at least 6 pairs. This results in a recession-resistant market for the $94 billion industry. Ouragins is currently raising money in an equity crowdfunding campaign.
