Every gown has a silver lining

Tuesday, 17 June 2008

02-June: In hospitals, they could soon be saying, “every gown has a silver lining”, now De Facto Communications has been brought in by AG Technologies to lead its European B2B PR campaign.

AG Technologies, an American science and technology company focused on stopping the spread of infection, has developed Argent 47, the only proven technology to molecularly bind pure silver to fabric. When incorporated into hospital gowns, sheets and curtains, silver combats the growth of bacteria and could play a major role in reducing the incidence of hospital-acquired infection.
 
De Facto Communications, part of Bell Pottinger Health, will also be supporting AG technologies with their listing on a UK stock exchange and the development of their marketing plans for Europe and the Far East.

Commenting on the appointment of De Facto, John Rossi, Finance Director for AG technologies, said, “With their in-depth experience in both investor relations and the healthcare technology sector, De Facto was a natural choice.”

De Facto Managing Director, Mike Wort, will lead the account, together with Kevin Payne, co-founder and Director of De Facto Communications.
