The Birth of BioGrip: A Solution Born from the Lab

BioGrip’s story begins where all great innovations often do – with a problem. Laboratory staff working in cleanroom and biosafety settings had long voiced a common concern: traditional vinyl seating surfaces became dangerously slippery when worn with personal protective equipment (PPE), such as isolation gowns.
As precision tasks demanded focus and stability, sliding on the seat became more than a nuisance – it became a risk.
Drawing from nearly 80 years of industry-defining innovation, BioFit’s team went to work. Leveraging insights from lab users and BioFit’s pioneering experience with cleanroom and ESD seating, the R&D team crafted BioGrip: a specialized upholstery with a textured imprint designed to “grip” the seated user, improving control and comfort during meticulous procedures.
“BioGrip embodies what BioFit does best – listening to the people who depend on our chairs and designing forward-thinking solutions,” said Jim Connell, President of BioFit.
Innovative Features of BioGrip
- Unmatched Stability: The innovative imprint reduces user movement on the seat, enhancing both comfort and control during prolonged or delicate work.
- Engineered for Demanding Settings: Like its predecessor, Microcon, BioGrip is resistant to harsh chemicals, easy to clean, and compliant with SEFA standards – essential for cleanroom, healthcare, and lab applications.
- Proven Durability: Extensively tested using double rub testing, BioGrip maintains performance through intense daily use
“This isn’t just a new upholstery. It’s a safer, smarter choice for the modern lab.”
