The GESSNER Advantage in Medical Nonwovens
GESSNER's expertise in filtration and advanced materials has led to the development of a superior TPU meltblown nonwoven for medical products that require a combination of softness, strength, and breathability.
This advanced material is specifically designed for applications such as premium bandages and diabetic plasters, delivering a “second-skin” feel through its excellent elasticity, breathability, and skin-friendly properties. By forming a protective barrier, the nonwoven helps maintain a clean environment for healing while safeguarding against infection.
Key Benefits of Our TPU Meltblown
Our TPU meltblown nonwovens leverage advanced material science to deliver superior performance for critical medical applications:
- Superior Elasticity & Conformability
The fabric stretches and recovers beautifully, conforming to complex body contours like joints and fingers without restricting movement. This ensures the dressing stays securely in place for longer, providing continuous protection - ideal for active users and areas prone to bending and motion.
- Exceptional Breathability
The microporous meltblown structure allows moisture vapor to escape while preventing liquid and bacterial ingress. This creates an optimal healing environment, reduces skin maceration, and enhances patient comfort - even during multi-hour wear.
- Hypoallergenic & Skin-Friendly
Made from pure, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), our nonwoven is free from latex and other common irritants. It is exceptionally soft and gentle, making it ideal for sensitive skin and long-term wear for both children and adults.
- Lightweight & Discreet
Offer your users a “second-skin” experience. The material is incredibly lightweight and low-profile, providing discreet protection that patients will barely notice - even on fingers or faces.
- Versatile and Adaptable
Our Elastic TPU Nonwoven is easily integrated into existing manufacturing processes. It can be laminated with other materials, coated with adhesives, and customized to meet the specific requirements of your medical devices, from spot bandages to larger flexible dressings.
For a Diverse Range of High-End Medical Applications
Band Aids
Engineered for daily protection, this advanced material offers a unique combination of softness, breathability, and stretch. The structure of our elastic meltblown nonwoven ensures softness and flexibility - keeping band-aids firmly in place even on high-motion areas like hands, elbows, and knees. Ideal for long-lasting comfort and secure wear.
Diabetic Plasters
Elevate your diabetic plaster offerings with our advanced Elastic TPU Meltblown Nonwoven fabric, purpose-built to meet the unique needs of diabetic wound care. By choosing our TPU nonwoven, your diabetic plasters provide enhanced comfort, softness, and secure fit, meeting the highest standards of care for diabetic patients.
