[Case Study] Waterproof Zipper AQUASEAL®: Adopted in Medical Protective Clothing

The medical protective suit features a YKK zipper at the opening. Thanks to high airtight seam welding, it successfully maintains a comfortable air environment inside the suit while simplifying the process of undressing.

◆Background for Adoption of Medical Protective Clothing Due to the impact of the novel coronavirus, visits to hospitalized patients have been restricted. To provide peace of mind and safety to healthcare workers and their families through a "personal space" with low infection risk, improvements were sought in the following areas: * Enhanced comfort through air control within the suit * Establishing a system based on hard and soft components for reuse * Functionality that allows for easy attachment and detachment for visitation ◆Key Points for Problem Solving (How Fastening Contributed) AQUASEAL(R) zippers were adopted for the openings of the medical protective clothing. AQUASEAL(R) zippers are waterproof zippers. They offer greater flexibility and operability compared to PROSEAL(R) zippers, which are metal zippers with airtight properties, making them easier to open and close without being too heavy. *For product details, please refer to the catalog available for download below.* *AQUASEAL is a registered trademark of YKK Corporation.* *PROSEAL is a registered trademark of YKK Corporation.*
