Band-Aids, Wound Care & Bandages

Meltblown nonwovens are highly functional solutions for wound care & bandages . The properties of our material provide the perfect conditions for the medical sector.

The elasticity and stretchability of the material helps to flexibly adapt to the respective part of the body without tearing. Our media is very soft, provides a suitable haptic and skin-friendly bonding and are eudermic.
With its water vapor permeability and breathability, it has properties that are absolutely necessary in this medical field for a comfortable wear and a fast healing process.
To meet your expectations for medical applications, our nonwoven is available in different grammages.

Our latest development offers a very special advantage for bandages. A special meltblown nonwoven material whose initial state can be transformed into a different shape by heat, enabling the patient to apply this bandage to the body himself without much effort, just by applying heat. You can see an example of this in our video.

CPAP

Air Filters are vital components in keeping a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) unit running safely and without introducing pathogens into the airway and medical facemasks in general.  We offer a variety of highly efficient meltblown media, made of many different polymers (PP, PBT, PA). We can offer natural or colored meltblown media. We design our meltblown grades to obtain BFE ratings of 99%+ whilst maintaining a low resistance to aid with breathability.  Gessner's electrostatic coarse fibered filter media, Alphastar™, has similar efficiencies to our meltblown but has a 10X lower resistance due to the electrostatic effect and coarse fibers.

Our Alphastar™ Triboelectric filter media captures a wide assortment of dust, pollen and contaminated air particles. Because the Triboelectric material has both positive and negative charge, it attracts air particles which increase filtration efficiency.

Medical Test Strips

Our thin hydrophilic Craneglas® 230 materials are ideal for medical test strips due to their controlled wicking properties, even distribution of flow, and affinity to most reacting agents. It can be easily slit and is dynamically strong for downstream processing.  

Media for face masks, respirator masks, surgical masks and community masks

NeenahGuard® & Delpore™

It is essential to protect oneself of toxic and health-damaging  fumes, air pollution, fine harmful particles, bacteria, and virus particles.  

Our electrostatically charged Meltblown can reach efficiencies up to 99.95%. Our portfolio ranges from FFP1 to FFP3 according to EN149 and we fulfil NIOSH 95 and 99.  We have a high flexibility in composition of the media to offer the best solution for your process regardless if you are looking for a pleatable or non-pleatable media.
Our NeenahGuard® & Delpore™ media provide a very good breathability and are suitable for medical applications. Our single Meltblown layer is sufficient for filtration efficiency but also available as composite with spunbond.
