Duvaltex is proud to be a part of the solution in the urgent call for medical textiles.

Press release | April 1, 2020

During this COVID-19 crisis, we are living through unprecedented times. Everyone must follow the health instructions to protect themselves. The same applies to the frontline healthcare sector workers who are doing such an outstanding job.

For over 20 years, we have been weaving cubicle curtains for North America's healthcare industry.

Given the huge demand for personal protective clothing, we have also mobilized our innovation resources in technical protective fabric to quickly produce Level 1 and Level 2 specialized medical textiles as well as fabrics with antimicrobial and antiviral properties.

These fabrics will soon be available to make scrub shirts and medical gowns, hospital gowns, laboratory and protective clothing as well as medical masks in compliance with current health sector standards. Our Quebec facilities have extensive manufacturing capabilities for the weekly production of medical fabrics.
