Knitting, Weaving, Braiding and Non-Woven Technology

ATEX Technologies has been transforming medical device textile component capabilities for over 20 years. We employ several manufacturing technologies that have been optimized to provide very unique and highly specialized products that drive the fit, form, and function of your device. These techniques include weaving, knitting, braiding, and non-woven processes. All components engineered at ATEX start with one or more of these core competencies; the choice of which to use is highly dependent upon the characteristics required for the component, and end device, to perform as it should. For instance, woven polyester is often chosen for its durability and versatility in medical applications to create woven medical fabric, while knitted medical fabric is valued for its elasticity and conformability, making it ideal for specific implantable applications.

In addition, ATEX offers numerous ways to add additional features to your component through fabrication. These enhancements include marking and dyeing, precision laser cutting, custom coatings, heat forming, sewing, and assembly. You can find out more about our capabilities in fabrication here. ATEX’s commitment to quality and operational excellence will ensure that your product is manufactured with the greatest attention to detail from the beginning of its development process all the way to large-scale manufacturing. Do you need a component with an open pore structure? A thin component with little give? A soft structure that will compress until deployed? We’ve got you covered.
