Our advanced tear and puncture-resistant fabric, Kozane® Invicta, was designed for tear-resistant garments for vulnerable patients and prisoners where traditional clothing and bedding may increase the risk of self-harm.
Its high puncture resistance also makes it ideal for manufacturing bite and scratch resistant protective garments for professionals working in special education and mental health who deal with service users and patients exhibiting challenging behaviour.
When working with vulnerable people, particularly those presenting challenging behaviour, healthcare and education workers can be at risk from bites, pinches and scratches. As well as causing pain and bruising, bites carry an especially high risk of infection (due to the number of bacteria in the human mouth) as well as a risk of contamination with blood-borne viruses. Hepatitis B virus (HBV), Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can be found in the saliva of infected people in low concentrations.
Kozane® Invicta can be effectively incorporated into arm guards or sweatshirts to provide discreet protection that can be worn all day.
Due to its high tear resistance, Kozane® Invicta can also be used to manufacture anti-ligature tear-resistant clothing and bedding, for mental health, special education or custodial settings.
In partnership with a major NHS mental health hospital we designed several anti-ligature garments and bedding for seclusion situations.
The Kozane® Strongwear range is made exclusively from our Kozane® Invicta fabric and is fully tear resistant – seams included (the stitching has reinforced seams with high strength thread, increasing tensile and tear resistance), designed to provide comfort and most importantly to minimise the risk of self harm.
Our range also includes bite and scratch resistant garments for professionals dealing with patients or service users exhibiting challenging behaviour, allowing carers to do what they do best, even in the most challenging environments.
Kozane High Performance Fabrics and Granberg AS get 5 Stars!!! The Slash Resistant Apparel is the best. Never have I seen such quality!! I ordered the sweaters and the arm sleeves. Looks great. Fits great. Would recommend them to anyone. Customer Relations is also awesome. Eve Ichim was nothing less than outstanding in every way!!! Informative, courteous and professional. I train professional athletes and law enforcement personnel and these products are a must-have.
Granberg deliver their products fast and provide great service. At Safe Workwear we want to work with suppliers who choose their business partners carefully. That is a factor of success which you will not find everywhere. We heartily recommend Granberg!
