A fantastic project idea Emelia. The combination of an awareness champaign embedded into a product for such an important issue is a great project.

Would you be able to elaborate on the specifications of what you need to get it to 'medical grade'?

Looking forward to seeing this develop.

hi hi I have developed an interlock stretch textiles that might be helpful as it has great strength but more of a pull on belt? Its the worlds first eco stretch for activewear etc with Tencel Modal and Roica V550 that is the worlds first C2C gold standard but has the Hohenstein Institute certification showing its non toxic as it breaks down, and use C2C or Bluesign dyes. You dont want the plastic toxic chemicals in a product if you can :)

Its 280gsm production however is 1000kg minimums but Im trying to get this supported via several designers through STSC Club.
