To meet growing market demands and unlock new opportunities in healthcare, Baltex offers a specialist range of innovative textile finishes. Designed to add value, improve hygiene, and elevate comfort, our treatments support the needs of medical professionals and patients alike
1. 🦠 Antibacterial Protection
Used in applications like wound care, slings, and orthopaedic fabrics, our antibacterial finish inhibits the growth of bacteria on textile surfaces. This not only improves hygiene and reduces odours but also extends the safe use of products that come into direct contact with the skin.
2. 💧 Water Repellency
Our water-repellent treatments deliver fluid resistance without sacrificing breathability. Ideal for wheelchair covers, patient slings, and outer wound dressings, this finish supports cleanliness, durability, and ease of care – essential in fast-paced clinical settings.
3. 💨 Moisture-Wicking
For skin-contact fabrics such as bandages and support wraps, our advanced hydrophilic finish manages moisture efficiently. It draws sweat and fluids away from the skin, disperses them quickly, and enhances cooling comfort – improving patient compliance and wearability during extended use.
4. 🌡️ Thermoregulating Performance
Comfort is key in long-term use medical products like fracture supports or mobility aids. Our thermoregulating finish allows fabrics to adapt to body temperature, enhancing thermal comfort and helping vulnerable users maintain a stable microclimate.
Delivering Comfort Through Innovation
At Baltex, we combine decades of expertise in warp-knitted and spacer fabrics with cutting-edge innovative textile finishes to develop smarter, safer, and more comfortable healthcare textiles. Whether you’re creating next-generation wound dressings or durable medical supports, our finishes are engineered to help you meet clinical demands with confidence.
