Outbreaks Persist, Flu Surges Again — What Truly Shields the Front Line Are These Protective Fabrics
The virus hasn't gone away—and neither should our protection.
While COVID-19 may no longer be classified as a global pandemic, the virus is far from gone. In the summer of 2025, influenza arrived early and aggressively across Taiwan, putting hospitals and care facilities under pressure from both COVID and flu outbreaks.
For healthcare professionals, what once felt like a nightmare from the past has become part of their daily routine.
Among all the protective equipment they rely on, one layer has consistently stood guard—the medical-grade fabrics used in surgical gowns and protective clothing.
What Can a Piece of Fabric Do? From Droplets to Blood Exposure, Our Fabrics Are Built for the Real Front Lines
Our medical-grade fabrics are engineered for high-risk clinical environments. They meet multiple international standards for medical protection (including AATCC, ISO, and EN certifications) and deliver the following performance:
✅ Effectively blocks blood, bodily fluids, and cleaning agents, reducing the risk of cross-contamination
✅ Breathable and comfortable for extended wear and active movement
✅ Resistant to microbial penetration, compliant with ISO 16603 / 16604 medical standards
✅ Durable against wear, tearing, and punctures—ideal for surgical and caregiving conditions
In a world where outbreaks continue to evolve, fabric performance isn't just a specification—it's a matter of trust for medical teams on the ground.
In Taiwan, we've weathered wave after wave of public health emergencies—from COVID-19 to enterovirus and recurring flu clusters. Healthcare workers operate in high-pressure conditions, often wearing protective gowns for more than 8 hours per shift. What they need isn't just a barrier—they need protection they can move in, breathe through, and rely on without overheating.
In fever clinics, vaccine centers, isolation wards, and even during routine care, our fabric acts as a breathable shield—blocking viruses and fluids while allowing healthcare professionals to work with confidence and ease.
It's more than just a fabric. It's a wall of protection—supporting every healthcare worker, and by extension, the entire public health system.
