Performance Summary
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
The tensile and elongation properties of Dureflex film make it an effective choice for inflatable medical devices and appliances, such as blood pressure cuffs and casts. 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
Medical probe covers made of Dureflex film serve as tissue-friendly barriers, offering protection against the contamination of equipment and patients. Certain Dureflex films can be utilized as a breathable barrier in wound-management products, contributing to patient comfort and the durability of a dressing.
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. Polyurethane film also minimizes noise and exhibits superior draping characteristics compared to less expensive, higher durometer materials.
