A corset includes: a left-front portion, a right-front portion, a back portion, a left accessory breast receiving portion, and a right accessory breast receiving portion. A left side of the back portion is connected to a right side of the left-front portion, and a right side of the back portion is connected to a left side of the right-front portion. The left-front portion is provided at a left side thereof with multiple rows of loops, and the right-front portion is provided at a right side thereof with hooks, the hooks and the multiple rows of loops being connected to each other by hooking. The left accessory breast receiving portion, the right accessory breast receiving portion, and the back portion form a U-shaped back neckline, and the left accessory breast receiving portion, the right accessory breast receiving portion, the left-front portion, and the right-front portion form a U-shaped front neckline.

A multi-layered moisture-wicking sweat-absorbing wristband that is used in conjunction with a gymnastic grip. The multi-layered wristband generally comprises a garment forming a tubular body having a first portion and a second portion. The first portion of the tubular body includes a first opening and the second portion includes a second opening. The first portion of the garment may include a first layer, a second layer, and at least one inner layer between the first and second layer. The second portion of the garment may include a third layer and a fourth layer. The garment is configured to be disposed over the wrist of a user with the second portion of the tubular body folded over a grip that is attached to the user and the first portion of the tubular body.

The present disclosure relates to redox active materials, such as the compound of formula (I), comprising at least one 2,5-dithio-7-azabicyclo(2.2.1)heptane unit connected to a surface thereof, as well as processes for making said redox active materials. The present disclosure relates to a method for recovering a metal, comprising reacting a metal in oxidized state with said redox active material. The present disclosure relates to uses of these redox active materials in sensors, electronic materials and for extracting metals.

This invention provides a respirator for detecting viruses which cause respiratory tract infection. The respirator comprises an outer layer, an inner layer, a rapid screening reagent between the outer layer and the inner layer, and a water-resist membrane between the rapid screening reagent and the inner layer. A sample pad of the rapid screening reagent is located on a region close to the nostrils, such that air from the nostrils will arrive the sample pad. Viruses inside the air with vapors or moistures will flow inside the rapid screening reagent through a conjugate pad, a nitrocellulose membrane, and an absorption pad. At least one test line will indicate a corresponding virus.

A gown or other apparel, for patient or caregiver, for use in healthcare settings that is chemically treated with anti-viral, antiseptic, and antibacterial solutions. Garments are either pre- or post-conditioned with an aseptic barrier that can reduce the presence of microorganisms in the fibers of the fabric that make up the gown. Non-toxic, non-irritant, and non-harmful agents are imbued into the gown that will safely cover reusable or disposable medical gowns, medical robes, medical socks, medical scrubs and all other medical-related apparel for both pediatric and adult patients.

An antimicrobial fabric for healthcare apparel comprising singlet oxygen generating photosensitising dye, preferably wherein the dye is a cationic phthalocyanine.

An extensible sleeve for direct contact prevention includes a sleeve member having an open first end, an open second end, an exterior, an interior, a dorsal side, and a palmar side. The sleeve member is wearable around the wrist of a user and is extensible from a first position, with the first end around the wrist of the user, to a deployed position, with the palmar side extended to overlie and cover the palmar surface of the user's hand. The sleeve member is securable and maintainable in the deployed position by action of a lip portion, disposed on the interior palmar side of the sleeve member at the first end, engaging overtop the fingertips of the user's hand. A contact surface may include tractive members and conductive elements of sufficient capacitance to interact with touchscreens and may further include antimicrobial properties or features.

Photosensitizers are incorporated into articles, such a personal protective equipment. A method of applying continuous and consistent light includes fitting the articles with light sources and optical fibers to apply light to the areas of the articles incorporated with the photosensitizers. Photosensitizers can be applied to articles by various applicators in either a gel or solution. A gel can be particularly effective when used on hydrophobic surfaces. Photodynamic reactor systems can be used to determine the effective doses of photosensitizers and the light dosimetry which can then be applied for use with the articles.
