- 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
- 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
- Wound Dressings Application Data
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 Gowns Application Data
Details
Surgical gowns and drapes are critical pieces of equipment in hospitals. They need to provide the medical staff and patients with a high level of protection against bacterial and viral infections. Research shows that 1 in 10 hospitalized patients will acquire an infection after admission. That is why infection control is a key topic. Arnitel® VT is a very flexible and breathable material that, when made into membranes just a few microns thick, is 100% waterproof, highly breathable and very comfortable. Arnitel® VT is also lightweight and offers good stretch properties with its 500% elasticity. Gowns manufactured with the Arnitel® VT technology finally provide the surgeon with 100% protection against viruses and bacteria without loss of comfort.
Benefits
- Arnitel® TPC allows for very sustainable solutions, since it is PFC free and 100% recyclable
- Arnitel® TPC allows for very comfortable and reliable solutions due to its high breathability and 100% waterproof performance under all circumstances (unlike perforated membranes) and since it forms a 100% barrier against fluids, bacteria and even viruses.
