Dureflex® polyurethane and specialty elastomer film provides a unique blend of performance properties that are attractive for a broad range of medical and healthcare applications.
Inflatable Cuffs & Casts and Medical Mattresses & Cushions

Patient comfort-enhancing applications that utilize the skin-friendly barrier and durability properties of Dureflex® film include institutional mattresses, wheelchair cushions, and gel-filled surgical positioning devices.
Medical Probe Covers, Transdermals, and Wound Management

Prostheses
Prostheses (outside of the body only) appear and feel more natural, and provide excellent resistance to punctures and leaks, when fabricated with Dureflex® film.
Surgical Drapes
Fabricated as drapes and covers, Dureflex® polyurethane and specialty elastomer film provides excellent resistance to punctures and offers protection against contamination. The positive haptic properties of select Dureflex® film grades are more comfortable than other films.
