Saving Lives with Rubber Threads: Its Usability in Medical Devices

Essential for safety measurements in the automotive industry and crucial for the manufacturing process of textiles and garments to ensure proper fitting and stretchiness for the comfort of clothing wearers, all of these advantages only add to the list that makes rubber threads the chosen material by health experts for medical purposes. Rubber threads are beneficial not only for the manufacture of surgical gloves and medical mask straps but also for various applications that we will review below.

Thanks to their high elasticity and durability, there is a wide range of products that rubber threads can be transformed into. First, rubber threads can be adapted to create abdomen pads and orthopedic nettings. To cater to the evolving needs of patients, rubber threads are highly flexible, allowing for customization and tailoring to ensure proper healing and wound management.
