Zusammenfassung:Improved medical garments are disclosed which are fabricated from woven or warp knit fabrics impregnated with an anti-microbial agent, such as silver in the form of a silver chloride solution during processing, and a hydrophobic agent, such as a fluorocarbon polymer and optional cross-linking agent. The garments are provided in various forms of medical lab coats for doctors and non-doctors and for both males and females. The combination of the anti-microbial agent and the hydrophobic agent provides improved kill rates for bacteria such as MRSA.
