Silver thread

SUVA socks composition includes silver fiber, which makes the socks healthy and comfortable to wear.

Silver thread + cotton

Premium cotton is a high-quality fabric that ensures exceptional comfort during sports activities with high energy consumption and heat release. Combined with silver thread, it provides a triple protection shield against foot odor:

• ANTIBACTERIAL: The silver fiber releases ions that directly attack fungi and bacteria, the main causes of bromidrosis.
• ANTISTATIC AND THERMOREGULATORY: It prevents the typical and uncomfortable swelling associated with long working hours and flight discomfort.

The attributes of silver have been widely accepted in the medical field for millennia. The Romans were the first to publish and document the “healing” powers of silver. Even in those times, water was carried in silver vessels because it kept the water supply safe. Today, silver is widely used in drinking water filters as well as swimming pool filtration systems. Now it is also possible to use silver in hosiery manufacturing.

Silver fiber is used by leading world manufacturers. Since 1987, silver fiber has been the best antimicrobial solution on the market, uniquely suited to meet several additional market demands:

• Antimicrobial: Eliminates odor-causing bacteria and athlete’s foot fungus.
• All Natural: Safe and non-toxic, containing no chemicals or pesticides.
• Heat Transfer: Cooler in the summer, warmer in the winter.
• Anti-static.
• Therapeutic: With its conductive properties (silver is the most conductive metal), the fiber system offers many health benefits.

Silver fiber has been researched and tested by leading institutions around the world and is widely accepted in the medical community. It is used in many FDA-approved products and is also registered as an antimicrobial with the EPA. Silver fiber is growing rapidly in the global consumer marketplace, and products made with silver fiber have won prestigious awards for outstanding performance and function.

When you compare silver fiber to other antimicrobial products, there are several distinct performance advantages:

• Speed: Silver fiber eliminates 99.9% of bacteria in less than one hour of exposure. (Most antimicrobial products test over 48 hours and still do not reach this level of effectiveness.)
• Catalysts: The hotter and wetter the environment, the more effective silver fiber becomes. This is perfect because bacteria are more prevalent in these environments.
• Safe & Natural: Silver fiber is made with pure silver, a naturally occurring element. There are no chemicals, and there is no fear of toxicity for the consumer. Silver is one of the safest substances for mammals.
• Permanent: Silver fiber is not a surface treatment. Silver is irreversibly bound to a polymer, becoming a physical part of the fiber. In fact, silver fiber has been tested for more than 250 washes with virtually no reduction in antimicrobial performance.

Silver is widely used today in both medical and consumer products. In fact, the very first drug most people receive when they are born is silver nitrate, in the form of eye drops.

Silver fiber is extremely safe because it is made with pure silver. Prestigious institutions throughout the world have validated the antimicrobial performance and safety of silver fiber in published medical journals.

Some people are allergic to silver jewelry and assume they are allergic to silver. However, silver jewelry is made of an alloy called “sterling silver,” and the allergies are typically to the other metals in the alloy. Silver fiber is made with pure silver, and there have been no documented cases of allergies to pure silver.
