New Spandex Stretch Collection With Pro-Tek | Greys Anatomy

Introducing Pro-Tek & the Greys Anatomy Spandex Stretch Collection.

Commencing from the start of 2022 the Barco group of scrub brands will be incorporating Pro-Tek finishing on new products. Starting with the release of the new Spandex Stretch Collection by Grey's Anatomy.

How does Pro-Tek Technology Work?

Pro-Tek is a zinc ion based protective finishing treatment that is applied to garments. Used for centuries, Zinc acts as an antimicrobial agent. The zinc ions adhere to fabric surfaces & when undesirable bacteria come into contact with the Pro-Tek finish, the growth of the bacteria is disrupted & reduced.

Zinc-based additives are broad-spectrum antimicrobials. This means they are effective in adding another level of antimicrobial defence not only against bacteria, but also in the fight against mould, mildew & algae.

• Zinc is a bio-safe mineral, non-toxic to human cells, but toxic to bacteria.
• Zinc’s distinct antimicrobial properties interrupt the bacterial food chain & inhibit the cell division of microorganisms.
