About Stay
Fresh
Stay Fresh is Quick-Med's
newest technology platform. This technology is based on
hydrogen peroxide -- a well known consumer antimicrobial product
that is commonly used in households for disinfecting cuts, scrapes,
toothbrushes and more. Hydrogen peroxide is also produced by
human cells to combat invasive bacteria, and is a naturally
occurring preservative component of milk and honey. EPA has
registered Stay Fresh to be
utilized to protect a broad selection of treated goods for consumer
use, including textiles, decorative fabrics, and functional fabrics
such as filters and carpets. FDA has also granted clearance to
market an antibacterial medical textile based on Stay Fresh Technology. The
Stay Fresh technology
offerings provided by Quick-Med are expanding continuously, with
development of additional applications including antimicrobial
surface treatments, and superabsorbent antimicrobial powders to
complement the range of products that are already cleared for
consumer use under EPA or FDA jurisdiction.
