Medical Textile Materials
Material products used in the medical industry often have short usage, particularly healthcare and hygiene products. These medical elastics and textiles are either designed to be washable or discarded after one use to prevent infection or contamination across various applications. Our elastics have features suited for several medical applications, such as surgical masks, apparel scrubs, restraint straps, wheelchair straps, lifting straps, or tracheotomy tape.

Explore types of medical materials to find a suitable option for your projects.Polyester Elastic
The standard fiber for flat elastics, polyester elastic, is highly durable and cost-effective. Polyester elastic is soft, stretchy, and non-shrinking. It also offers resistance to wear and tear, mildew, bleach, stains, and odors, making it excellent for various medical applications.Latex-Free Elastic
Latex-free elastic is made with synthetic rubber for a strong, flat elastic material option. It features similar retention to latex elastic products while addressing latex sensitivity in a range of applications. Opting for latex-free elastic is also an environmentally friendly choice, as it takes fewer carcinogens to manufacture than latex materials.Hook & Loop Fastening Tape
Widely known as Velcro™, hook and loop fastening tape is a two-part construction consisting of a rough-sided hook and a soft-sided loop. Hook and loop fastening tape can be used for adjustable closures over a long period of time, offering a fast and easy solution in medical material applications. This material is available in self-adhesive and sew-on styles.Binding Tape
Commonly used for finishing fabrics and apparel, binding tape is an aesthetic material that protects raw edges. Our inventory of binding tape material includes cotton, nylon, polyester, and polypro fabric options.Non-Stretch Braided Cord
Non-elastic cord is a woven, durable textile material. The material, weave, and diameter determine the cord's application strength. For medical uses, non-stretch braided cord may be used in ankle supports for athletes, or medical apparel.Flat Elastic
Medical flat elastic is commonly latex-free for latex-sensitive users. This medical material is constructed from rubber threads wrapped in a secondary fiber, such as nylon, or polyester. Knitted flat elastics are flexible and stretchable for medical applications like abdominal binders, back supports, knee braces, and more.Medical Textiles and Elastics Material Options
