Magnetic closure for adaptive clothing

Market

Magnetic closure for adaptive clothing, made for constrained gestures.

A solution that simplifies opening and closing when motor skills, strength or gesture precision are limited.

Key constraint
Allowing a broad, low-precision gesture, often one-handed, with an adapted effort.
The problem
Buttons, snaps and zips require fine motor skills or outside help.
Systemmag’s answer
Tolerant magnetic alignment, intuitive closing and an opening effort adapted to the need.

What the gesture demands

4 key constraints

01

Easier gesture

The two parts draw together naturally and position themselves more easily.

02

Autonomy

Less precision needed than a button, a snap or a conventional zip.

03

Textile comfort

Soft integration, with no uncomfortable hard point on the garment.

04

Discretion

Functional assistance that doesn’t stigmatise the product’s use.

Integration examples in the reduced mobility market

Vest or jacket

Integration

Which format for a constrained gesture?

Adaptive garment, orthosis, dressing aid: depending on motor skills and available effort, we choose the most tolerant format before the prototype.

01

Magnetic strips

For linear, adjustable closures that are easy to test on a prototype.

02

Magnetic zips

Ready to sew in, in side (ZIP C) or centred (ZIP G) geometry, for openings that must stay discreet.

03

Shaped sheaths

Modules integrated into textile envelopes ready to assemble.

Technical scoping, integration drawing and adaptation to your product's constraints.

Scope my integration

Designed for autonomy.

When buttons, snaps and zips demand fine motor skills, the magnetic closure aligns itself and opens with minimal effort, without stigmatising use.

Lighter

No rigid parts or visible metal elements.

Quieter

Opening and closing without stray noise.

Snag-free

No hooks that catch fabric or fibres.

Resistant

Designed for usage cycles and material constraints.

Durable

Built to stay reliable after product qualification.

Project scoping

From prototype to series

We adapt the strength, the format and the direction of use to make the closure more accessible without making it look medical.
