iFabric's ProTX2 trial shows bacterial load reductions

Mr. Hylton Karon reports

IFABRIC CORP ANNOUNCES THE SUCCESSFUL RESULTS OF THE CLINICAL TRIAL UTILIZING PROTX2 TREATED SCRUBS

iFabric Corp. has provided an update on the outcome of the clinical trial conducted by its wholly owned subsidiary, Intelligent Fabric Technologies (North America) Inc. (IFTNA).

"I am pleased to announce the receipt of exciting results in respect of our recent clinical trial," stated Hylton Karon, president and chief executive officer of iFabric. "The objective of the trial was to empirically demonstrate the reduction in bacterial loads on ProTX2-treated scrubs versus standard, off-the-shelf untreated scrubs, when used in a health care environment. Three sets of scrubs were produced for the trial -- one set treated with ProTX2 only, a second set with ProTX2 and our proprietary DWR (durable water repellent) technology and a third set with no technologies applied (the control)," continued Mr. Karon.

"The summary of the trial findings is that both the ProTX2- and the ProTX2-with-DWR-treated scrubs demonstrated statistically significant reductions in bacterial loads on the surfaces of scrubs, as compared to untreated scrubs. The term statistically significant is used to describe a result that is highly unlikely to occur by chance alone in a natural environment. The results achieved in the study demonstrate that our proprietary technologies were uniquely responsible for the reduction in bacterial loads witnessed throughout the trial. The next and final phase of this trial is to submit the study to a recognized medical journal for peer review. Once completed, we will press release a summary of the final peer review findings.

I would like to congratulate Mr. Giancarlo Beevis (president and CEO of IFTNA) and his team, who were instrumental in the design and execution of this study, which was conducted in the United States at the MermorialCare Saddleback Medical Center, Irvine, Calif.," concluded Mr. Karon.
