Medical Market

We design and manufacture medical fabrics that meet the highest standards of performance, support and patient comfort. They are skin-friendly and durable, and are available with a variety of finishes and backings. Our fabrics for orthopedic soft goods, bandages and antimicrobial curtains are offered with a broad selection of designs and laminated options, consistent workmanship and world-class pricing.

Case Study

Aiding a Medical Brace in Critical Condition

Challenge

A leading supplier of orthopedic braces met GTP at a trade show. This customer competes in a congested market where pricing pressure is constant. They needed a fabric that could withstand the constant stretching and pulling caused by a brace alternating between extended and retracted positions. It also had to be soft and compatible with skin contact without triggering allergies or chafing.

Solution

After experimenting with woven and knitted designs, we developed a nonwoven construction out of microfiber yarns to create fabric that was soft and resilient, soothing to the touch, and within the customer’s price target.

“We needed to upgrade our wide-width fabric for the new designs of our tension fabric structures and custom trade show exhibition set-ups. We required a lighter fabric that had specific stretch properties and printed flawlessly. GTP delivered — and for less than our target price.”
