The healthcare segment is an important pillar in the portfolio of Freudenberg. The healthcare range includes components for modern and traditional wound treatment, elastic backing materials, products for incontinence management and filters for stoma care, the company said in a press release.
“Expanding our range of technologies to include bioresorbable nonwovens for use in managing surgical hemostasis brings our customers several benefits: the innovative solution is more effective than existing options, so it reduces costs and can, in some cases, even save lives,” said Dr. Oliver Heneric, SVP of the global healthcare division at Freudenberg Performance Materials.
The technology is used to manufacture nonwovens made from bioresorbable raw materials that are reabsorbed by the body. Freudenberg has installed specially-designed equipment for this purpose. Looking to the future, the company plans to collaborate with partners to offer a broad range of solutions for bioactive wound healing, drug release and regenerative medicine based on this technology.
