AMICROTEX, a project financed through POR FESR 2007-2013 (European funds for regional development), was initiated with the goal of developing an innovative range of anti-microbial textiles. These fabrics, which are designed to reduce bacterial contamination and nosocomial infections, will be certified through in vitro and clinical tests for use in the medical and surgical environment.

AMICROTEX is a partnership initiative involving operators in the textile chain: yarn manufacturers (RadiciGroup), weavers (Tiba Tricot Srl, Tessitura Lazzati SpA, Leucadia SpA), garment manufacturers (Alsco Italia Srl), laundries, consulting companies (Ecoconsult Srl), scientific institutions and hospital centres (Fondazione Centro San Raffaele, Gruppo Ospedaliero San Donato Foundation), all of which are committed to making their contribution to the development and marketing of innovative anti-bacterial fabrics for use in the medical/health care field.
