Goodbye white coats?

Apparently hospital lab coats are hot beds of bacteria. Studies have shown that over 80% are colonized with the same dangerous MRSA and othr bacteria that are found on their hospitalized patients. The good news is that a new material Vestex is able to prevent the growth of these bacteria.

Dr. B:
Looks like a winner if they can make the material into lab coats and scrubs. Great news for doctors and patients alike. This still does not take away the need for other hygienic measures like hand washing.
