After spreading a hospital acquired infection (HAI) to her child, ER nurse practitioner Abbey Pikul made it her mission to give healthcare workers another choice in PPE. The result is a groundbreaking layer of protection for footwear.
Our mission.
Armor29™ outsoles harness copper's natural antimicrobial properties for a holistic answer to an age-old problem protection from the spread of harmful pathogens.
The spread of infection is a global concern due to factors like climate events, travel, poverty, overuse of antibiotics
and pandemics.
It is time for an extra layer of active protection.
Our outsoles work without contributing to the antibiotic resistant (AR) threat globally.
Cleaner shoes can support healthier communities.

Our solution.
Healthcare workers do not have effective PPE for outsoles, where tracking harmful pathogens is a part of everyday life for clinicians.
Adding copper provides safe, reliable and ongoing protection. Today's options are limited to:
Wipes: Transfers pathogens to hands, gloves
Booties: Weak barrier, and diminished protection when wet
UV Light: Slow, costly for clinics, requires continuous intervention and must be repeated all shift
Extra Shoes: Expensive and still lack anti-pathogen protection
