Silver antimicrobial fibreInhibits bacteria on the fabric
SilverCore™ is a clinical full-zip made with Ionic+™ Permanent silver antimicrobial technology: high-purity silver extruded into the yarn to inhibit the growth of bacteria on the fabric. Every other detail is cut around clinical work.
Now in prototyping. Early-access members hear first and get first call to wear-test.
Clinical apparel, not PPE or a medical device.
Healthcare has purpose-built uniforms, PPE and protocols. The fleece or hoodie over the scrubs is usually just a fleece. It goes on at the start of a shift, often stays on until you're back through your own front door, and usually isn't washed as often as the scrubs underneath.
One mid-layer, one twelve-hour shift
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.
The scrubs get the attention. The layer over them doesn't.
SilverCore™ is built for that layer: cut around clinical work, with a stretch-woven, liquid-repellent shell where splashes and wear land, and silver built into the fibre to keep the fabric fresher between washes.
How the fibre worksNot sprayed on. Not a surface finish. SilverCore uses Ionic+™ Permanent silver antimicrobial technology by Noble Biomaterials: high-purity silver is bound into the polyester as the yarn is extruded, so it's part of the fibre itself, where it inhibits the growth of bacteria on the fabric.
Drag to wash. Illustration, not to scale: surface finishes are rated for a set number of washes, while extruded silver is engineered to stay in the fibre for the life of the fabric.
Silver is blended into the polymer before it's spun, so every filament carries it through its full cross-section.
Positively charged silver ions are released at the fibre surface continuously, without shedding elemental silver.
The ions interfere with how bacteria grow and multiply, inhibiting bacterial growth on the fabric itself. The fabric stays fresher between washes.
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.
Stands up against drafts on cold units and transport, with no hood to tangle with a stethoscope.
Sweeps off the midline, so the pull sits clear of your stethoscope and badge.
A tougher panel across the shoulders, front and back, where splashes and bag straps land.
The same shell where your forearms meet bedrails, counters and stretchers.
Push the sleeves up for hand hygiene and they stay there.
Pens, penlight, shears. Zipped shut when you lean over a bed.
A fixed point for your ID badge or reel, so it doesn't drag on the fleece.
Angled for your hands, zipped for your phone and keys.
A smooth, reinforced patch where a stethoscope rests all shift.
Airflow where you run hottest on a busy unit.
Stays covered when you reach, bend or lean over a bed.

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

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.
Ionic+ is silver antimicrobial technology built into the fibre. Positively charged silver ions at the fibre surface inhibit the growth of bacteria on the fabric, so the jacket stays fresher between washes. The treatment protects the fabric itself; it isn't designed or sold as protection against infection.
It's engineered not to. The silver is extruded into the fibre rather than applied as a finish, so it's designed to stay in the fibre for the life of the fabric.
High-purity mineral silver bound into polyester, with no nanotechnology. Ionic+ is certified to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, which tests textiles for harmful substances.
We're in design and prototyping now. Join the early-access list and you'll hear first, before any public release.
