Smart-Touch for medical compression glove

Digital everyday life with hand support: compression glove with touch function

Anyone who wears closed medical compression gloves knows the challenge of operating touch surfaces: the hand garments have to be taken off first and put back on after use. The Smart-Touch option of the mediven esprit SL now makes digital everyday life easier for people with lipoedema and lymphoedema as well. A special silver yarn has been integrated into the fingertips, enabling effortless use of smartphones, tablets, or other touchscreens. 

How does the Smart-Touch option of the mediven esprit SL work?

Touch surfaces react to the skin’s minimal electrical impulses. The integrated silver yarn conducts these impulses through the glove, allowing the screen to register the touch even though the finger is covered. 

The innovative silver yarn is firmly knitted into the thumb and index finger, ensuring that the function does not “wash” out even with frequent cleaning. The silver yarn is soft and smooth, so it does not leave marks or scratches on sensitive touch surfaces.
