Yarns for medical textiles

Yarns for medical textiles

We have a long experience in medical textiles :

  • compressive socks and stockings
  • lumbar waisbands
  • orthopedic bandages
  • knee pads and other othotics

Developed by Filix in partnership with our customers, these products meet all quality requirements and conform to required specifications.

Our medical yarns undergo very strict inspections. They may be developed exclusively for you. Our machinery enables us to process any type of yarn, regardless of its characteristics. We have dedicated spaces under controlled atmosphere to avoid any fiber contamination.

If we can’t make it for you, it’s unlikely that any other supplier can !
More recently, we have developed anti fungal, anti bacterial and anti bedsore solutions in conjunction with dortors and dermatologists.

We are also involved in several smart textile projects dedicated to medical surveillance

Yarns for smart textiles

Yarns for smart textiles

We develop communication solutions for smart textiles in industry, medical, military or sports.
