When critical situations demand immediate and adaptable solutions, Halco is there to answer the call. With our state-of-the-art hook-and-loop closure systems, we serve a variety of markets—from medical to transport and defense. Our materials are engineered for rapid response and reliability, ensuring that when the world faces challenges, our expertise and production capabilities deliver vital solutions.
Rapid Response to Global Challenges
Halco’s agility in production and engineering excellence have positioned us as a trusted partner during times of global need. A prime example of our capacity to scale in an emergency is seen during the pandemic, when we swiftly manufactured millions of converted hook-and-loop closures for medical isolation gowns and other personal protective equipment (PPE). This same readiness has been pivotal as emergencies continue to unfold, whether on the battlefield or during large-scale civilian crises.
Meeting the Moment in Uncertain Times
- Pandemic Response: During COVID-19, Halco’s rapid conversion of hook-and-loop materials played a crucial role in producing the PPE needed to protect frontline medical staff.
- Defense & Emergency Needs: With conflicts such as the war in Ukraine, our systems have again been called upon to supply materials for life-saving applications among both soldiers and civilians.
Tourniquets: A Vital Life-Saving Application
Tourniquets are essential medical devices used to control severe bleeding, and our hook-and-loop systems have become a critical component in their design.
The Role of Halco’s Mixed Nylon Woven Hook and Loop Tape
- Secure Engagement: Unlike traditional hook-and-loop materials, our Mixed Nylon Woven Tape features woven hooks and loops on one side. This design ensures a secure, self-engaging closure, which is vital in high-stakes situations.
- Versatile Applications: Whether securing a tourniquet around a soldier on the battlefield or a civilian in a critical emergency, our tape ensures that straps remain in place, even under extreme conditions. It is also commonly used in securing the windlass used to adjust and tighten the tourniquet.
Global Impact
Halco USA is ramping up production and collaborating with defense contractors and first responder product manufacturers worldwide. This partnership ensures that the most critical life-saving devices, such as tourniquets with our specialty hook-and-loop closures, are delivered quickly and reliably.
Patient Positioning and Transport Products
Beyond tourniquets, our hook-and-loop solutions are instrumental in supporting safe patient handling during medical emergencies and transport.
Enhancing Safety in Critical Transport
- Immobilization Products: Our materials are used in designing splints, immobilizers, stretchers, and gurneys—products that are crucial for preventing additional injury during patient transport.
- Reliability Under Pressure: The Mixed Nylon Woven Hook and Loop Tape has a proven track record in the manufacture of these products. Its dependable performance helps secure patients safely until they reach appropriate medical care.
Customization and Compliance: We offer hook-and-loop products in a range of colors, including military specifications (mil-spec) options, ensuring compliance with the stringent requirements of emergency and defense applications.
