Healthcare materials must perform reliably in environments where comfort, hygiene, protection, and consistency matter. Xamax supports medical and personal care applications with engineered nonwovens, films, laminates, technical papers, and specialty converted materials designed to meet demanding product and process requirements.

Through the Xamax–Baltex relationship, Xamax can now help North American customers access advanced medical textile technologies used in applications such as wound care, orthopedic support, compression therapy, patient handling, medical bedding, seating, gown fabrics, surgical drapes, scrubs, laundry bags, and other healthcare textile systems.

Baltex medical fabrics add an important technical dimension to the Xamax healthcare offering. Available structures include 3D and 4D spacer fabrics, meshes, plain and brushed fabrics, and laminated fabrics with impermeable membrane options. These materials can be engineered for breathability, moisture management, cushioning, flexibility, comfort, waterproofing, antimicrobial/antiviral finishes, and other performance requirements.

For medical product developers, the opportunity is practical: Xamax combines North American material problem-solving, converting, laminating, slitting, and application support with Baltex’s specialized knitted and spacer fabric capabilities. Together, the companies can help customers develop materials that improve product performance, manufacturability, patient comfort, and end-use reliability.
