Healthcare fabrics are specially coated textiles created with unique chemicals. These chemicals are either woven into the fabric itself or released gradually over time. Healthcare textiles are primarily made to lower the danger of contamination, stop the growth of germs, and halt the spread of illnesses and disorders. Knitting, weaving, and non-weaving procedures are used to make these materials. Healthcare textiles have special qualities that make them antimicrobial, flame resistant, non-carcinogenic, and non-allergic.
