DermaSilk Infant Body Suit With Folding Gloves

The Infant Body Suit covers all of the child's torso, arms and hands,  providing a stable moisture balance, helping stop dry skin, itching and scratching. Its stretchy design ensures a snug fit whilst allowing for growth with all the seams on the outside to avoid chafing. The baby's hands are protected by mitts with long cuffs to allow their fingers to stretch and not feel trapped.

In clinical trials 83% of children with atopic dermatitis using DermaSilk showed an improvement in their condition.

DermaSilk is made of a special knitted medical grade silk which has been stripped of its outer coating and bonded with Microbe Shield technology*. It is far superior to cotton for sensitive skin, retaining up to 30% of its own weight in moisture without feeling damp. The special knitted construction of the fabric makes it breathable promoting faster healing, in essence a second skin. "Normal" silk fabrics used for clothes are not recommended for dressing of subjects with atopic dermatitis, as these fabrics reduce transpiration and therefore may cause worsening of disease activity.

*DermaSilk is specially bonded with an antimicrobial shield, called AEM 5772.5, which has been used in hospitals for over 30 years and has proven ability to inhibit bacterial and fungal growth on fabrics such as operating theatre gowns. It acts by puncturing and electrocuting bacteria and fungi, causing their death. There is no chemical poisoning of the cells and no chemicals or nano-particles are released onto the skin. No other antimicrobial is capable of protecting silk in this way.

Washing DermaSilk
To maximise the life of your DermaSilk Infant Body Suit wash carefully by hand with non-biological (enzyme free) detergent suitable for sensitive skin. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.

Every ten washes we recommend soaking DermaSilk overnight in a solution of two tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda per litre of water to maintain the softness of the fabric, then wash as above.

"Last Saturday staying at grannies she was up all night scratching arms and legs to the point of bleeding.  She has had her suit on for 2 nights and last night was the first night that she has slept the whole way through since she was 6 months old.  The difference in her skin from two nights not scratching is remarkable.  All being well I hope to ween her off the night time Piriton."
