As the pandemic continues to pose a threat to healthcare workers worldwide, Indian nanotechnology start-up Thermaissance is leading the charge with its innovative technology that provides over 99.99% protection against various viral, bacterial, and fungal infections. The company's proprietary nanotechnology has been scientifically proven to inactivate over 99.99% of the coronavirus in less than an hour, making it a game-changer in the fight against COVID-19. Furthermore, its technology has also been shown to kill 99.99% of Multi-Drug Resistant Organisms (MDROs) such as MRSA, VRE, and CRE, which are major sources of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).

Key Takeaways:

  • Thermaissance's nanotechnology has been scientifically proven to inactivate over 99.99% of the coronavirus in less than an hour.
  • The company's technology has also been shown to kill 99.99% of Multi-Drug Resistant Organisms (MDROs) such as MRSA, VRE, and CRE.
  • The nanotechnology remains active 24/7, working to inhibit viral, bacterial, and fungal growth on the surface of the textiles.
  • Thermaissance's fabric has an antiviral effect against coronavirus certified with ISO 18184, while the antibacterial effect is certified with JIS L 1902:2015.
  • The company currently manufactures various medical textiles such as medical scrubs, lab coats, head covers, patient gowns, masks, and gloves, all of which utilize its self-disinfecting technology.
  • A study found that about 60% of hospital staff uniforms were culture positive for MDROs, highlighting the importance of protective gear for healthcare workers.
  • Manish Raval, Founder & CEO of Thermaissance, emphasized that even laundered medical textiles can pose a risk of infection if not properly sanitized.
  • The company's technology aims to reduce the risk of pathogen infections among healthcare workers, citing the example of 17,000 healthcare workers who have died worldwide from COVID-19 infections.
