Medical Knits
Versatile medical fabrics for health, comfort, and care.
When your work involves protecting health, improving comfort, and ensuring safety, you need fabrics that perform in demanding care environments. Whether you’re developing wound dressings that promote healing, wearable sensors that monitor vital signs, or garments that combine compression with material protection from odor, stains, mold, and mildew, you can rely on medical knits that are clean, breathable, and engineered to support your goals—right down to the smallest detail.
Silver, as a precious metal, is known for its skin-soothing properties, among others. Shieldex textiles incorporate 99.9% pure silver. Available in a variety of knit structures, elastic properties, and weights, they adapt to the demands of diverse projects—from clinical to personal, from human to veterinary care. Depending on the application, specially certified silver should be used for medical applications due to the Biocidal Products Act.
Because many fabrics in this category also offer properties like EMI/RFI shielding or aesthetic appeal for performance wear, their potential extends well beyond traditional medical contexts. Every application is unique, and our team can guide you through sampling and evaluation to find the right fabric for your needs—as the exclusive distributor of Shieldex medical fabrics in the Americas, we make it easier to bring adaptable, high-performance textile solutions to life.
