Noble Biomaterials is best known for X-STATIC – The Silver Fiber® that has harnessed the anti odor, anti microbial, anti static and heat diffusion properties of silver by permanently bonding a layer of pure silver to fiber providing a sustained release of silver cations. X-STATIC is used by numerous market leading manufacturers as a component of medical devices and textiles, military uniforms, space suits, extreme sports wear and computer shielding.
The benefits of X-STATIC have been researched and tested for more than ten years by leading institutions around the world. Specifically developed for the conditions facing soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq, over 100,000 X-STATIC Combat Shirts are now being utilized by the U.S. Marine Corps, the U.S. Army Special Forces and U.S. Navy Seals, which have adapted the X-STATIC® Base Layer that protects against the weather and regulates body temperature.
Highly regarded in the medical community, X-STATIC can be found in Johnson & Johnson wound products. The company recently launched SilverSeal®; a line of FDA-approved wound care products to treat chronic wounds. SilverSeal Burn and Wound Care products use X-STATIC silver technology to provide continuous, broad-spectrum management of wounds and to provide an antimicrobial barrier.
