Knit comfort zones

The advantages of technical knitted fabrics in healthcare products

  • High elasticity only where needed, thanks to working with elastic materials and structures. Expansion zones can be precisely planned.
  • Support and compression in different areas due to elasticity.
  • Knitted functional comfort zones with uncompromising freedom of movement.
  • Different knitting techniques and patterns in hugely different materials can be integrated locally.
  • The parallel use of different material structures results in a particular comfortable wear experience.
  • A distinctive knitting technique enables the further processing of fine micro-fibres.

Application example "ibrush" by Tootec GmbH

Our innovative technical knits enable the realisation of a very different application: an alternative to traditional toothbrushes. 
Thousands of knitted ultra-fine micro-fibres penetrate the smallest pores of the tooth surface.
Thanks to a special surface activation of the fibres of a meticulously researched yarn, plaque and bacteria are almost magnetically drawn out and then removed. Because the micro-fibre knit has – compared to the thick, water-repellent bristles of traditional toothbrushes – the property to pick up plaque on the teeth much better.
As a result, the cleaning result with the fiber is much better, especially when there is a high level of plaque contamination. Gums and sensitive tooth necks are spared. With regular use, unsightly tooth discoloration, even nicotine, red wine, tea or coffee deposits are removed and their formation is prevented. Bad breath is also effectively combated.
