The field of wearable technologies is rapidly growing and textiles play a key role in the proliferation of wearables

Textiles play a key role in facilitating this revolution by supplying wearable manufacturers with solutions that make it possible to fixate wearable technologies on the human body. At Tytex we are able to help you succeed in the wearables market by supplying you with textiles perfectly suited for fixation purposes. 

For more than five decades we have developed, manufactured and brought to market textiles for both niche markets and for large scale production used in hospitals and nursing homes. Tytex practically invented the two-piece hospital fixation pant for incontinence care but the portfolio extends to solutions within wearables, wound dressings and IV-fixation. Yes, we can actually fixate just about anything to the human body by way of using textiles.

Special VR headsets, health monitoring solutions for toddlers or something completely different

You have a vision and the perfect technology – you only need a medium by which you can fixate your wearable on the human body. At Tytex we can help you do just that. With more than five decades of experience in developing, designing and manufacturing fixation textiles we posses the knowledge required to fixate just about anything on the human body by way of using textiles. 

Key questions to consider

When using textiles on the human body there are a myriad of aspects to consider. How will the skin react to the textile which is applied? Which part of the body is the textile applied to? Are there any special aspects which needs extra consideration when using a textile solution at special areas of the human body?

And what about the device you want to fixate — does it need to be shielded against moisture? Does the device have unique dimensions which needs to be taken into consideration? What about the weight — will the weight cause challenges when designing the textile?

These questions and many more need to be asked and answered when designing the optimal solution for your device. At Tytex we know which questions to ask and we have the capabilities, experience and people needed to answer these question. We also have the technology available to address any challenges encountered when designing any kind of textile solution. 

Technology perfectly fitted to develop for any solutions applied to body and limbs

All the solutions we have made for our partners are made of a comfortable and skin-friendly material which allows the skin to breathe as well as reduce the impact of sweating. We are able to make textile solutions to any part of the body — be it the smallest limb or around the torso of a large man. The technologies we apply allows us to make garments which incorporate 4-way stretch capabilities. This makes us able to manufacture solutions that gives flexibility when applied on joints or on skin surrounding ligaments. The solutions also offers adaptability when applied to parts of the body where the respiratory system is a key factor to consider.  

Another key factor when designing textile solutions intended to be integrated with wearable technologies is the ability to manufacture seamless end products. 

The device which is to be worn on the body needs in some way to be cinched, sealed or fastened within the textile solution. This can — with traditional textile technologies — result in seams. Seams can result in discomfort for the user. With seamless technology all the negative aspects of seams are completely avoided. Moreover, the technologies we employ allow us to manufacture textiles which have the so-called fact-based sizing incorporated. Based on statistical insights and modeling combined with deep textile property insights and an intricate production set up we are able to manufacture solutions which fit and feels comfortable with the lowest possible amount of SKU's.
