Complex testing requirements
With broad ranging materials, from technical textiles to nonwovens, including combinations of natural and synthetic fibres, the various materials used in medical textiles presents a complex set of testing requirements.
Performance testing using appropriate test standards and validation of results, is essential to developing and manufacturing medical apparel for:
- quality assurance
- safety, comfort and function
Various physical properties are required to be tested and validated, such as:
- breathability
- flexibility
- comfort
- waterproofing.
Accurate, reliable, repeatable results - every time
Qualification, approval and acceptance of medical textile products is complex and extensive.
Manufacturers of medical textiles products need to describe all test methods, performance testing features, results analysis, and presentation guidelines of test results prior to marketing and commercialising a new product: which is why a strong testing and quality assurance regime is so important to get right.
