Probiosooth: probiotic modified fabrics for preventing and treating skin infection

Health

We have developed a technology which shows huge promise in preventing skin and wound infection by attaching 'good' bacteria probiotics (often added to yogurts and baby formula) to skin facing fabric. This has applications in infant care, care of adults with incontinence and chronic wound care.
