CLUTEX – Cluster Technical Textiles Creates Innovative Textile Solutions for Patients with Specific Needs

CLUTEX – Cluster Technical Textiles has joined forces with leading companies and research institutions as part of the OPPIK Collective Research project. The aim of the project was to address the shortage of textile and clothing products designed for patients with rare skin diseases and other health conditions, such as allergies, diabetes, and rheumatic disorders.

CLUTEX – Cluster Technical Textiles assembled a specialised team as part of the Collective Research project, focusing on developing innovative textile and clothing products. This project addresses the issue of a limited supply of textiles and garments tailored to the specific needs of patients with rare skin diseases. However, the results also have broader applications for patients suffering from allergies, diabetes, or rheumatic conditions.

As part of the project, textiles, garments, and clothing accessories are being developed and tested in practical applications to ensure their functionality and benefits for users. The project has involved prominent organizations, including VÚB a.s., Jitex Comfort s.r.o. and Chemosvit Fibrochem s.r.o., whose collaboration has significantly contributed to the development of these innovative solutions.

The Collective Research project demonstrates that bringing together experts from various fields opens up new possibilities to improve the quality of life for patients and contribute to the development of the Czech textile industry.
