DermaSilk Clothing

Irritation is commonly associated when fragile skin has become exposed to radiation. DermaSilk is a range of super-soft therapeutic underclothing made from specialist silk clinically proven to help calm sensitive skin of those undergoing cancer treatments. The long, smooth cylindrical fibroin silk threads of DermaSilk are protected with an antimicrobial to keep the fabric fresh whilst reducing the build-up of bacteria. 

DermaSilk eases chemo and radiotherapy side effects. Studies reveal its effectiveness in reducing skin damage and improving patients' quality of life. For radiotherapy patients, DermaSilk garments protect the skin, reduce inflammation, and accelerate tissue regeneration, ensuring timely completion of treatment without delays or infections. In chemotherapy, 61.9% of patients reported significant symptom improvement after just one month of wearing DermaSilk, with enhanced skin integrity and fewer relapses during follow-up. With cancer therapy costing the NHS thousands, integrating DermaSilk into treatment regimes can help maintain therapy adherence, enhance patient comfort, reduce infections, and ultimately improve outcomes.
