At The LYCRA Company, the team is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of innovation to develop products that elevate comfort, performance, and quality across various industries. Their latest breakthrough comes in the form of LYCRA® T903C fiber.

What distinguishes LYCRA® T903C fiber is its meticulously engineered load and unload characteristics, which optimize both performance and durability. As a result, medical garments constructed with LYCRA® T903C fiber maintain their shape and compression levels even after prolonged wear, ensuring enduring support and comfort for patients.

The LYCRA Company's unwavering commitment to innovation is ingrained in its DNA, and the company takes pride in collaborating with industry leaders like Zimmermann, a renowned producer of medical covered yarns. Zimmermann has seamlessly integrated LYCRA® T903C fiber into its high-performance yarns, further enhancing their quality and functionality.

With the upcoming Techtexil trade fair in Frankfurt scheduled from April 24th to 26th, interested individuals are encouraged to visit Zimmermann's stand to get an up-close look at LYCRA® T903C fiber and its applications.

LYCRA® T903C fiber is also readily available through other leading players in the industry, ensuring widespread accessibility and adoption across various sectors.
