Details

In “Hansaplast Aqua Protect” plaster a film made of Arnitel® PM381 is being used. The Arnitel film can keep the water and bacteria outside while being breathable at the same time.

Benefits

Arnitel® Care allows for reliable solutions due its excellent breathability, ease of processing and due to its easy stretchability with low forces, not putting tension on the wound area
Medical Tubes Application Data

Details

Arnitel® Care \is also being used for medical wound dressings.

Benefits

  • Arnitel® TPC allows for reliable solutions in respiratory tubing due to its excellent breathability, preventing condensation
  • Arnitel® TPC allows for light weight solutions as compared to silicone alternatives
Respiratory Tubes Application Data

Details

Respirator tubing is both used in monowall and in spiralized reinforced designs.

Benefits

  • Arnitel® has USP class VI and FDA approved grades available
  • Arnitel® offers a good combination of flexibility, strength and kink resistance
  • Arnitel® has high breathable grades available to prevent condensation inside the tube
