[Example] Waterproof zipper AQUASEAL®: Adopted for medical protective clothing

Adopted YKK zippers for the openings of medical protective clothing. Achieved a comfortable air environment inside the suit through high airtight seam welding, while successfully simplifying the process of undressing.

◆Background for Adoption of Medical Protective Clothing Due to the impact of the novel coronavirus, visits to hospitalized patients have been restricted. To provide comfort and safety to healthcare workers and their families through a "personal space" with low infection risk, improvements were sought in the following areas: * Enhanced comfort through air control within the suit * Development of a system based on hard and soft components with reuse in mind * Functionality that allows for easy attachment and detachment for visitation purposes ◆Key Points for Problem Solving (How Fastening Helped) The AQUASEAL(R) zipper was adopted for the openings of the medical protective clothing. The AQUASEAL(R) zipper is a waterproof zipper. It offers greater flexibility and operability compared to the PROSEAL(R) zipper, which has a metal construction for airtightness, making it easier to open and close without excessive effort. *For product details, please refer to the catalog available for download below.* *AQUASEAL is a registered trademark of YKK Corporation.* *PROSEAL is a registered trademark of YKK Corporation.*
