Printed circuits for smart textiles
ElastaTrode
ElastaTrode is Interlink Electronics' printed-circuit platform for smart textiles. It supports medical garments and other wearable electronics programs that need soft, stretchable conductive paths and clinically proven garment integration.
- Printed textile circuits designed for wearable and garment-based assemblies
- Used in FDA and CE-approved medical garment applications
- Supports smart textile sensing and stimulation workflows
- Built for stretchable, washable, body-near products
Product overview
Printed circuitry for smart textiles
ElastaTrode is designed for smart textile programs where electrical performance has to live inside a soft wearable assembly instead of on a traditional rigid PCB. It provides printed conductive pathways that remain compatible with movement, comfort, and garment integration.
The technology is especially relevant for medical garments and body-near wearable systems where softness, clinical usability, and reliable textile integration all matter.
Typical product fit
This family is best suited to programs that need wearable circuitry for therapeutic, stimulation, or sensing functions without introducing bulky conventional electronics packaging into the garment.
- Smart medical garments
- Wearable stimulation systems
- Garment-based bio-signal sensing
- Connected soft goods and textile interfaces
Applications
Typical program fit
ElastaTrode is typically delivered as a specification-led product family. Contact the product team to discuss material selection, prototyping, manufacturing fit, and commercial requirements for your application.
- Medical garments
- Electrical muscle stimulation
- TENS wearables
- ECG, EMG, and EEG sensing
