Medical professionals at Cohen Children's Medical Center and North Shore University Hospital, both in New York State are now wearing scrubs and lab coats made from Vestagen's proprietary Vestex fabrics.

Northwell Health, which owns both the hospitals, operates 21 hospitals and employs more than 61,000 employees, making Northwell the largest private employer in the state of New York.

Medical professionals in the hematology-oncology unit at Cohen Children's Medical Center were the first caregivers in Northwell Health to begin wearing technology-driven Vestex uniforms.

Seven months later, 60 per cent of Cohen's care givers wear the scrubs and Vestagen expects that the entire staff there will be fitted with its uniforms by October.

According to Vestagen, Vestex combines innovative technologies designed for everyday protection from unanticipated exposure to body fluids and the associated possibility of microorganism transmission.

“Vestex has earned an endorsement from the American Hospital Association following a diligence process and is now being adopted by a number of leading US healthcare institutions,” the company said.

“Given the high level of satisfaction with the new uniforms, Northwell Health is considering expanding their use to other hospitals across the health system,” Vestagen added. (AR)
