The jacket over your scrubs, rebuilt from the fibre up.

SilverCore™ is a full-zip mid-layer for healthcare professionals. Ionic+™ silver is extruded into the yarn itself to inhibit odour-causing bacteria on the fabric, and every detail is cut around clinical work.

Now in prototyping. Early-access members hear first and get first call to wear-test.

Scrubs get laundered. The layer over them goes home.

A fleece or hoodie goes on over scrubs at the start of a shift and often stays on until you're back through your own front door. It goes everywhere you go, and it usually isn't washed as often as the scrubs underneath.

In a hospital study of 135 nurses and physicians, 63% had potentially pathogenic bacteria on at least one part of their uniform, including drug-resistant organisms.1

A 2025 study found healthcare attire almost universally contaminated. Staphylococcus aureus turned up most often at the pockets.2

Whether uniform contamination leads to patient infections is still being studied. Where your mid-layer has been isn't.

Embedded, not coated.

Many antimicrobial garments rely on a finish applied to the surface of the fabric. SilverCore uses Ionic+™ Permanent by Noble Biomaterials: high-purity silver is bound into the polyester as the yarn is extruded, so the silver is part of the fibre itself.

Drag to wash. Illustration, not to scale: surface finishes are rated for a set number of washes, while extruded silver stays in the fibre for the life of the fabric.

  1. Bound in at extrusion

    Silver is blended into the polymer before it's spun, so every filament carries it through its full cross-section.

  2. Released at the surface

    Positively charged silver ions are released at the fibre surface continuously, without shedding elemental silver.

  3. Fresher between washes

    The ions inhibit the growth of odour-causing bacteria on the fabric, wash after wash.

Cut for clinical work.

A sweater-fleece mid-layer, smooth-knit outside and brushed inside, with a stretch-woven shell where clinical work wears a jacket out. Fourteen details, each one traced back to a real shift.

14 details, front and back

Each one traces back to something that goes wrong on a real shift.

  1. 1

    Contoured funnel neck

    Stands up against drafts on cold units and transport, with no hood to tangle with a stethoscope.

  2. 2

    Curved offset zip

    YKK #5 reverse coil

    Sweeps off the midline, so the pull sits clear of your stethoscope and badge.

  3. 3

    Shell B yoke

    Stretch-woven, liquid-repellent

    A tougher panel across the shoulders, front and back, where splashes and bag straps land.

  4. 4

    Shell B forearm panel

    Stretch-woven, liquid-repellent

    The same shell where your forearms meet bedrails, counters and stretchers.

  5. 5

    Compression cuff

    10 cm rib

    Push the sleeves up for hand hygiene and they stay there.

  6. 6

    Chest utility dock

    Vertical zip

    Pens, penlight, shears. Zipped shut when you lean over a bed.

  7. 7

    Badge anchor

    Set in the yoke seam

    A fixed point for your ID badge or reel, so it doesn't drag on the fleece.

  8. 8

    Hip pockets

    30°, concealed zip

    Angled for your hands, zipped for your phone and keys.

  9. 9

    Stethoscope nape guard

    Inside back neck

    A smooth, reinforced patch where a stethoscope rests all shift.

    Perforated underarm gusset

    Airflow where you run hottest on a busy unit.

  11. 11

    Drop-tail hem

    Back +6.5 cm

    Stays covered when you reach, bend or lean over a bed.

  12. 12

    Chrome emblem

    The AuraMed mark in brushed chrome.

  13. 13

    Lot tab

    Left hem seam

    Every jacket carries a lot number, like everything else you trust on shift.

    Hanger loop

    Inside back neck

    For the locker hook between shifts.

Designed on shift.

“I wore the same fleece from an isolation room to the break room to my car, then home. Nothing about it was designed for where it had been. SilverCore is the layer I wanted on those shifts.”

Logan Pedersen, RNFounder, AuraMed

Logan worked as an ICU nurse before moving into flight nursing, caring for patients across remote northern Canada. He started AuraMed to build clinical apparel around the realities of the job, beginning with the one layer nobody had designed for it.

Questions

Is SilverCore PPE or a medical device?

No. SilverCore is clinical apparel. It isn't personal protective equipment, and it doesn't replace hand hygiene, PPE or your facility's infection prevention and control practices.

What does the silver actually do?

Ionic+ silver inhibits the growth of odour-causing bacteria on the fabric, so the jacket stays fresher between washes. The treatment protects the fabric itself.

Will the silver wash out?

No. The silver is extruded into the fibre rather than applied as a finish, so it stays for the life of the fabric.

What's in the fibre?

High-purity mineral silver bound into polyester, with no nanotechnology. Ionic+ is certified to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, which tests textiles for harmful substances.

When can I get one?

We're in design and prototyping now. Join the early-access list and you'll hear first, before any public release.
