Heathcoat is proud to announce the launch of its latest innovation in technical textiles – a lightweight warp-knitted fabric engineered specifically for medical and woundcare applications.
Crafted from 100% viscose yarns, this new fabric delivers a rare combination of absorbency, softness, and biocompatibility – the essential qualities demanded by modern wound management solutions. Designed with both patients and product developers in mind, it provides an ideal balance between comfort, performance, and sustainability.
“Our goal was to create a fabric that not only meets the technical requirements of woundcare specialists but also enhances the patient experience,” said Sam Smith, Development Engineer. “This new viscose fabric achieves that through its lightweight construction, softness, and excellent moisture-handling properties – all while maintaining environmental responsibility.”
