Ahlstrom has introduced Ahlstrom VaporCool. The product is made from a soft SMS fabric treated with adaptive technology to create a smart fabric designed for conversion into single-use surgical scrub suits. Described as a soft, textile-like, dynamic fabric that offers outstanding comfort, when worn in direct contact with the skin, the fabric works as an extension of the wearers’ body, helping to regulate their body temperature. When hot, the fabric boosts evaporation providing a cooling effect; when cool, the fabric holds in moisture acting as an insulating layer.

The first fabric of its kind, VaporCool uses moisture management to offer enhanced comfort to surgical professionals. Working under bright lights and dressed in high-barrier surgical apparel, surgeons operate under intense pressure for hours. These conditions cause their body temperature to rise, increasing the production of sweat. Discomfort caused by feeling hot and sticky can quickly shake concentration and impair cognitive abilities. Ahlstrom VaporCool works with the body to relieve discomfort and improve concentration.
