Medical Textile Manufacturers and Suppliers in Turkey

Medical textiles cover textile products used in healthcare: surgical drapes and gowns, face masks, sterilization wraps, wound dressings, bandages and patient-care products. This page lists companies that manufacture, contract-manufacture or supply them. Disposable drapes, gowns and masks often use nonwoven surfaces; see that category for the raw material. Garments against industrial hazards are outside this category: see protective clothing. Surgical gowns and drapes are on this page, but scrubs and other garments made for hospital staff are listed under workwear and uniforms. A company making medical compression socks can select both this category and socks and hosiery. The wider field is under technical textiles.

Location data are limited: no single capacity-report code covers all medical textiles. In the TOBB Industry Database, 16 of the 50 firms with a valid report for “swabs, gauze and similar articles used with pharmaceutical substances, put up for retail sale” (product code 21.20.24.40) are in Istanbul and 8 in Ankara (TOBB, October 2026). This code shows only part of wound-care products; surgical drapes, gowns and masks are not included in this distribution.

First question: is the product a medical device?

Buying medical textiles starts with the product's legal status. Whether a product counts as a medical device depends on the intended use set by its manufacturer. As of the date of this page (October 8, 2026), medical devices in the EU are governed by Regulation (EU) 2017/745. In Turkey they are governed by the Medical Device Regulation (Tıbbi Cihaz Yönetmeliği), aligned with that regulation (Official Gazette, June 2, 2021, no. 31499 repeated, in Turkish), and registration and tracking run through the Product Tracking System (ÜTS) of TİTCK, the Turkish Medicines and Medical Devices Agency. Under the European Commission's June 2020 guidance on medical face masks, non-sterile medical masks are class I and the manufacturer declares conformity itself; for masks supplied sterile, a notified body is involved in the sterilization process. If you are unsure about your product's status, consult an expert or a consulting and certification firm.

The critical question is who the legal manufacturer is. The party that places the product on the market under its own name is the manufacturer in regulatory terms, and obligations such as the technical documentation and the declaration of conformity fall on it. A contract manufacturer is then a subcontractor, approved and audited by the legal manufacturer. For private-label production, find out whether the contract manufacturer only sews and packs, or owns the documents.

Standards by product

• Surgical drapes and gowns: EN 13795-1; clean-air suits: EN 13795-2
• Surgical masks: EN 14683 (Type I, II and IIR)
• Respirators (FFP): EN 149; treated as personal protective equipment, not as a medical device

Ask a medical textile supplier about sterilization, certificates and traceability

• Sterile? Ask about the sterilization method, who carries it out, packaging integrity and shelf life.
• Quality system: The scope of the certificate must include your product.
• Test report: It should be specific to the product and the standard, lot-numbered, and from an independent testing laboratory. The tested sample must have the same construction as the product to be delivered.
• Traceability: Can the lot number be traced back to the raw material?
• Minimum order (MOQ) and lead time: The sterilization batch and the packaging layout affect the minimum quantity. Do not leave sampling and test time out of the lead time.

Layers, barrier level and sterilization set the price of medical textiles

Number of layers and surface type (single layer, SMS or laminated), the barrier level required, packaging and sterilization, test and documentation costs, and order quantity set the price. Compare quotes only after equalizing the standard and performance level behind the product name.
