5 Reasons to use a Urethane Film for Medical Adhesive Tape Applications

Polyurethane Film offers a unique combination of properties that make it an excellent material for medical applications.  Polyether Films offer antimicrobial properties, breathability, and biocompatibility, all while maintaining elasticity and a soft feel.  Polyether is also resistant to skin oils and has passed Agar Diffusion testing for skin cytotoxicity.  Polyester Films have excellent tear and abrasion resistance characteristics that make them perfectly suited for more demanding medical applications.

5 reasons to use a Urethane Film for Medical Applications:

1. 1. Very soft and conformable for direct skin contact applications.
   2. High MVTR [Breathability] for wound dressings and medical tape applications.
   3. Clear urethane films offer good clarity characteristics for those applications requiring clarity in a medical adhesive tape construction.
   4. Urethane films provide overall strength and resistance to moisture, chemicals, and abrasion.
   5. Urethane films can be used as a Liquid Barrier with high MVTR.
