Ep. 119: Advancing medical textiles
The Textile Innovation Podcast speaks with Jordan Schindler, CEO and founder of Clothing 2.0.
Biotechnology company Clothing 2.0, in Conover, North Carolina, US, has developed a patented technology that infuses consistent doses of medicines, vitamins and supplements into yarn that create laundry-safe, reusable healing garments and textile products.
We discuss how this category of products gives consumers better control of their health and wellness just by getting dressed. Schindler explains how Clothing 2.0 has developed numerous active ingredient infused products, from anti-fungal to eczema and acne treatments, with significant other applications currently under collaboration with industry leading partners.
Within this episode Schindler explores the company's recent collaboration with The Marena Group, a provider of medical-grade post-surgical compression garments, to assist patients undergoing invasive and minimally invasive aesthetic and plastic surgery procedures.
He also touches upon the potential development of these garments with smart textile technology in the future. To learn more please visit clothing2.com.
