Copper Unleashed.
Engineered for Healthcare. Built for Performance.
Vivothreads brings clinically relevant material science to healthcare textiles—delivering rapid, laboratory-verified antimicrobial activity and exceptional durability through repeated industrial laundering.
Why Textiles Matter More Than Ever
In clinical environments, textiles move with patients, staff, and equipment—across rooms, across units, and through every stage of care. They are among the most frequently touched materials in the facility, yet also among the least technologically advanced.
Standard fabrics quickly accumulate moisture and organic buildup between washes, making it challenging to maintain a consistently clean textile environment throughout the day.
Vivothreads was created to solve this gap. By permanently infusing copper into natural fibers, we deliver textiles that actively reduce microbial presence on the fabric surface under laboratory conditions—supporting a cleaner, more resilient material environment between launderings.
Advanced Material Science, Built In
Our proprietary copper-fusion process embeds copper directly into the fiber matrix, creating performance that is:
- Intrinsic to the textile, not a coating
- Stable and long-lasting, even after high-temperature industrial laundering
- Consistent, providing the same clean feel and durability day after day
- Comfort-driven, maintaining the hand-feel of premium clinical textiles
This is material science designed for the realities of healthcare.
The Data Behind Vivothreads
Laboratory-Verified Antimicrobial Performance
Independent global labs have validated that Vivothreads fabrics:
Reduce >99% of tested bacteria on the textile surface within 30 minutes
Maintain antimicrobial activity after 50+ industrial wash cycles
Continue to meet testing standards for hygienically clean textiles after repeated home laundering (EMSL lab report)
Are evaluated using globally recognized methodologies and certifications
*These findings describe laboratory behavior of the treated fabric and do not represent clinical performance. Vivothreads textiles are treated articles. The antimicrobial properties are intended to protect the textile itself. Vivothreads products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Operationally Efficient. Environmentally Aligned.
Healthcare leaders need solutions that improve performance while reducing operational burden. Vivothreads is engineered to support both.
Because copper is embedded—not topically applied—our textiles can support:
- Lower-temperature laundering
- Reduced chemical consumption
- Extended textile lifespan
- Fewer replacements over time
The result: textiles designed to optimize cost efficiency without compromising performance.
Built for Healthcare. Ready for High-Demand Environments.
Vivothreads was developed for clinical use and engineered to perform in any setting where reliability, durability, and cleanliness matter.
Applications Include:
