Dedicated to providing the ultimate choice of fabrics for the healthcare sector, Klopman has developed an extensive collection of fabrics specifically designed to meet the sector’s requirements for the highest possible standards of image, hygiene, comfort and performance.

As with all Klopman fabrics, the healthcare collection has been developed as a direct result of Klopman working closely with Europe’s leading garment manufacturers and rental laundries as well as hospitals, clinics and wearers.

As such Klopman is uniquely placed to monitor, anticipate and react to trends in demand and this fact, together with a continuing programme of investment in advanced manufacturing technologies, means that today Klopman manufactures more healthcare fabrics, in a wider choice of styles, than ever before.

Klopman's poly/cotton fabric range includes two of Europe’s most popular fabrics for men’s and women’s workwear – the choice of many organisations for whom corporate identity and image projection is a high priority.

Available in a range of weights from 150gsm to 300gsm and both plain, twill, panama and chambray weaves, in addition to an extensive range of plain colours there is also a choice of printed stripes and special finishes.

These fabrics combine a longer working life with outstanding wearer protection qualities. Garments retain their smart appearance for far longer and they also offer the easy-care versatility of being suitable for both domestic washing and high temperature industrial laundering.

Klopman’s range of cotton-rich fabrics more than meets the demands of the widest range of garments, from heavy duty workwear to image applications requiring softer styling and drape.

Specifically developed as an alternative to 100% cotton, they combine the comfort and absorbency of cotton with the extra durability and performance qualities of polyester.

Inherently tougher with excellent tear and abrasion resistance even after repeated industrial laundering, they do not suffer from the high and inconsistent levels of shrinkage which are so often a characteristic of 100% cotton.

Klopman’s cotton-rich fabrics are available in a range of weights from 185gsm to 330gsm, an extensive range of colours and a variety of weaves including plain, twill, striped twill, satin, panama and chambray.

Klopman’s Printline range of fabrics has comparable performance characteristics to the best-selling polyester/cotton Superbandmaster.

The on-line range of striped and abstract designs is available in a choice of seven colours which co-ordinate with Klopman’s plain dyed fabrics. Special designs and colours are also available, including a sampling service.

Another area where Klopman continues to excel is in the field of specialist protective finishes. As well as an extensive choice of EN-accredited fabrics to provide protection from a wide range of potential hazards such as electromagnetic radiation, static and liquid chemical splash, Klopman has also recently introduced Bioguard, a range of fabrics with a unique antimicrobial finish. For full details of all these fabrics please go to the Protectivewear section of this site.

Available in a choice of fabrics which have evolved from best-sellers in the healthcare collection, the unique Sanitized® protection of Bioguard fabrics actively fights the proliferation of bacteria and fungi that are a significant cause of cross infection and contamination in situations requiring critical hygiene protection. In addition, the treatment also acts as a built-in deodorant, protecting against unpleasant odours to provide garments with safe, long term protection.

In addition to an extensive choice of fabrics for image workwear and protectivewear use in the healthcare sector Klopman also produces a number of fabrics for more specialist applications, including fabrics for surgeon’s gowns and drapes.
