This project was specifically close to our hearts:
Björna Althoff, physician and medical project lead at Kluba Medical invented a swinging hammock for premature infants - made of an OceanSafe Certified textile material.
The hammock was tested in the Sana Kliniken Duisburg, Germany and received positive feedback that opened various possibilities for further medical development.
We are delighted to see our Cradle to Cradle® Certified Gold textile materials making their way into the medical field. It nicely demonstrates how sustainable textiles that do not contain toxicants or hazardous chemicals may create healthy surroundings for premature infants.
Björna’s invention was even featured in the German ARD show “Einfach Genial”, a channel that celebrates the latest inventions in various areas. Watch the full movie here:
We can’t wait to work on more projects like this in the future!
