Medical textiles

In order to produce “breathable” films, the industry is asking for an alternative material to microporous filmand TPU.

Every hole, however small, can leak or snag– possibly causing damage or health risks.

DSM Engineering Plastics has introduced a range of Arnitel® VT (Vapour Transmission) TPE breathable film products, with a proven track record in medical gowns. The membrane protects the patient as well as the medical staff against microorganisms and blood while simultaneously providing breathability and comfort.
