SAF technology for wide range of medical fabric formats

MediSAF really is the essential basis for true absorbent media innovation within the medical sector. As such products are mainly fibrous based, it enables it to be integrated exceptionally well throughout the final product, resulting in excellent conversion, minimum wastage and consistent performance.

Moist wound care dressings are designed to present correct moisture conditions around the wound, but not result in actual wetting. The integration of a MediSAF-based fabric, results in the rapid uptake and retention of exudates from the infected area. This is essential in creating an optimum environment to aid the healing process, and prevent further bacterial growth.

Selecting MediSAF as the absorption component affords significant benefits to medical device producers, patients and carers. Its fibrous form creates lightweight, soft and flexible fabrics. These offer precise absorbency control, fluid retention and porosity, with low dust and shedding performance. Enhanced absorption and retention levels also mean dressings need changing less frequently. This reduces time pressures on clinicians and helps enhance patient comfort.

MediSAF-based medical fabrics are available in a wide range of formats and can also provide different levels of anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory performance. MediSAF can also be used in other medical-related products such as disposable mats for used in operating theatres. It can also be incorporated into diagnostic transportation solutions, such as packaging for medical testing kits and blood, and bodily-fluid testing materials.
