It comprises of millions of small randomly connected fibrils that render an effective pore size many times smaller than can be seen by the naked eye.
The result is an extraordinarily hydrophobic and breathable membrane which is ideal for applications including: wound care; Ostomy bags; urine bags; drainage bags; respiratory applications; medical device enclosures; vent caps; IV spike vents and packaging vents.
Tetratex membrane is bacterial-challenge tested and toxicity tested to USP 23, Class VI.
Available in a range of pore sizes from 0.05 microns to 7 microns and thermobonded to a variety of substrates, Tetratex is suitable for a range of health care applications with film thickness from 5 to 250 micron and is thermally and chemically stable, resulting in superior performance and comfort in almost any environment.
For the health care market, Tetratex Membrane is a reliable and cost effective solution for many applications, for example.
* Ostomy applications -Tetratex ePTFE membrane provides the patient with total peace of mind and unrivalled performance.
The hydrophobic characteristics of Tetratex ePTFE provide an excellent barrier to leakage, whilst allowing ventilation and breathability, and managing the build up of gases and odour to ensure the patient comfort.
* Dialysis Applications - Tetratex ePTFE membrane provides an excellent barrier against contamination and encourage a fast response of hemodialysis equipment to venous pressure signals.
* Wound Care - the soft, drapeable, ease of removal properties provided by Tetratex ePTFE membrane make it suitable for a range of wound care applications.
Tetratex ePTFE membrane is highly breathable offering a barrier to infection.
Donaldson Membranes welcomes the opportunity to talk to ComPaMed visitors, to discuss their specific applications and optimum solutions.
