Quick-Med Technologies Inc. announced that it has signed a Patent and Technology License Agreement with Doris Hosiery Mills, Limited. Under terms of the agreement, Doris will manufacture, distribute, market and sell consumer socks that incorporate Quick-Med's proprietary Stay Fresh(R) antimicrobial technology. Stay Fresh uses hydrogen peroxide as the active ingredient, the same chemical produced by human cells to fight invasive bacteria, and naturally occurring in milk and honey as a preservative. Consumers are comfortable with hydrogen peroxide as a color-safe bleaching agent and stain fighter for laundering applications. Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful antimicrobial, highly effective against a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, mold, mildew, fungi, algae, and viruses. Very low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide have been shown to be effective in guarding against the growth of odors from microbial causes and in resisting deterioration or staining caused by fungi, molds and mildew.
