DeatexGroup develops advanced solutions for the medical applications using high-quality technical fabrics — also combined with plastic films — that fully comply with the most severe hygienic-medical standards and international regulations. With decades of experience, the company supports manufacturers with materials designed to ensure safety, comfort, and high performance.

Our Certified Technical Fabric

The polyester nonwoven fabric developed by DeatexGroup meets rigorous requirements for cytotoxicity, skin compatibility, skin irritation and skin sensitizing. Its softness and breathability ensure long-lasting skin comfort, while the water-repellent treatment offers additional protection in daily use. Thermal weldability guarantees perfect integration with plastic films, providing a stable and reliable final product — essential for modern ostomy bags.

This material, in short, meets the following standards:

  • Cytotoxicity
  • Skin compatibility
  • Skin irritation and
  • Skin sensitizing

And it ensures the essential properties of modern ostomy bags:

  • Softness and breathability for skin comfort
  • Water repellency for enhanced protection
  • Thermal weldability for perfect integration with plastic films

Customization and Quality

Since 2017, with the installation of a new impregnation and fabric-printing plant, DeatexGroup has expanded its customization capabilities. The company can now fabrics dyeing according to customer specifications, apply water-repellent treatments to enhance safety and performance, and maintain consistently high aesthetic and functional standards. These innovations allow manufacturers to produce medical devices that fully align with technical requirements while improving the end-user experience.

In practical terms, Deatex Group can:

  • Fabrics dyeing according to customer specifications
  • Make the fabric water-repellent, improving performance and safety
  • Guarantee high aesthetic and functional standards for medical device manufacturers

Our Commitment to Sustainability

Beyond quality and safety, sustainability is a central focus for DeatexGroup. The company continuously invests in energy-efficient production processes, explores sustainable materials and treatments, and develops innovations that promote recycling and waste reduction. The mission is to combine technical performance with environmental responsibility, paving the way for a greener future in the medical applications.

In other words, this commitment translates into:

  • More efficient, energy-saving production processes
  • Sustainable materials and treatments
  • Innovations that promote recycling and waste reduction

Why It Matters

Ostomy bags are essential medical devices that play a vital role in patients’ daily lives, whether in hospital care or at home. They help restore autonomy, comfort, and dignity during a challenging time. DeatexGroup understands the emotional and physical impact of living with a stoma, which is why it focuses on developing technical fabrics that make ostomy bags more comfortable, discreet, and reliable.

In concrete terms, this means they are:

  • More comfortable
  • More discreet
  • More reliable
