How is the heating built into the garment?

Knitted heating elements are integrated directly into the fabric. The heating element can be integrated into the textile rather than applied as a separate pad; power delivery, temperature sensing, and control electronics remain part of the complete product architecture. Because the elements are knitted in, the same approach scales from a single comfort zone to a full garment.

Is textile heating a medical treatment?

No. MyantX frames textile thermal regulation as a comfort and temperature-control capability, not a clinical therapy. There is no peer-reviewed efficacy claim attached, so it is described in terms of what the technology does — targeted warmth and temperature control — rather than a medical outcome.

How is the warmth targeted and controlled?

Heating is delivered in zones under active temperature control — a starting configuration of four elements that expands as a garment needs, with modes such as Standard Comfort and Rapid Heat. Paired with textile temperature sensing, it can run as a closed loop that holds a target temperature rather than simply switching on and off.

Can a heating garment be machine-washed?

Washability depends on the complete construction. The heating elements, interconnects, connectors, removable electronics, and care method must be validated under the intended laundering protocol.

Textile thermal regulation

Zoned heating with closed-loop temperature control, knitted into a garment, bedding, or surface — comfort and control, not clinical therapy.

How it's used today

Garment heating zones

Targeted warmth for comfort (e.g. menstrual, lower-back).

Product implementation

Bedding / sleep micro-climate

Dual-zone thermal paired with in-bed sensing.

Product implementation

Automotive cabin panel

Independent per-zone cabin heating.

Development / platform

Heat, exactly where it's needed

Delivers heat where it is needed — zoned, controllable warmth from knitted elements — and, paired with textile temperature sensing, can hold a target temperature as a closed loop.

How it's built

From the skin-side knit to the electronics that read it — the layers behind the capability.

Interface location: Against or around the body — garment zones, bedding, or a cabin panel.
Actuation element: Knitted resistive heating elements.
Textile construction: Demonstrated constructions integrate resistive heating within the textile. Flexibility, washability, power architecture, and care requirements are validated per product configuration.
Control boundary: Paired with textile temperature sensing for closed-loop, per-zone control; power delivery and control electronics remain part of the complete product architecture.

What testing shows

Independent studies — each result, and exactly what it covers.
