Custom Linen Solutions Takes Steps to Protect HCWs in ASCs

Custom Linen Solutions (CLS), an Orlando-based provider of textiles and uniforms to healthcare centers, announces that they have taken on a new product line to help their ambulatory surgical center (ASC) customers.

Adequate personal protection equipment (PPE) against infections has always been a high-priority in the medical field. CLS directly addressed their concerns by incorporating a new and innovative technology called Vestex, the latest in protective medical wear.

Vestex scrubs repel blood and bodily fluids while remaining breathable, and contain an anti-microbial to prevent fabric degradation from microorganisms.

"Studies indicate that healthcare workers want barrier protection as a first line of defense against the contaminants they face every day," says Craig Mayo, president and CEO of CLS. "We are proud to help our customers address their employees number one concern so they can focus on what they do best taking care of patients."

"We applaud Custom Linen Solutions effort to equip their customers with tools for personal protection. In addition to the day-to-day PPE required in their line of work, Vestex will provide healthcare workers with additional protection against splatters from blood and bodily fluids without increasing compliance steps," says Ben Favret, president and CEO of Vestagen.
