Medical Film

About Argotec Medical Grade Films

In extruding both monolithic and micro-porous polyurethane films, Argotec manufactures industry-leading materials for the medical industry. The comprehensive portfolio of films includes thermoplastic polyurethane and polyurethane films produced from a wide range of resins and additives to optimize the qualities these high-performance films can offer.

Argotec TPU and PU films are used for liquid and viral barriers, wound dressings, transdermal components, and waterproof-breathable medical textiles. Films used in laminate composite solutions are used for applications ranging from blood filtration to advanced surgical wound care.

Recognized for consistency and reliability, Argotec medical films provide design flexibility for medical product designers, manufacturers, laminators and adhesive coaters who look to us for material solutions to meet the stringent performance requirements in the medical and dental industry.

Benefits of Argotec Polymer Films for Healthcare

Argotec is the leading global supplier of precision engineered films and sheet. In addition to having the leading The physical structure and puncture resistance of the films allow them to act as both liquid and viral barriers, shielding patients and staff from potentially harmful blood-borne pathogens. Important for use in hospitals, no plasticizers are used to mitigate or cause allergic reactions and the films can withstand autoclave sterilization temperatures and remain soft and flexible over time for extended shelf life. The materials’ inherent softness, breathability, and conformability allow them to stretch and recover for patient comfort.

The films’ ease of fabrication allows for cost-efficient adhesion and slitting, resulting in reduced net cost. To provide added design flexibility, Argotec offers carrier options for ease of handling very thin film or to achieve the best fit for the end-product and customer’s process.

Argotec Engineered Films for Innovative Medical Solutions

Wound Care

Argotec is the leading producer of engineered films for wound care applications, including both consumer wound care and advanced wound care. From finger bandages to surgery recovery applications, Argotec works with you for targeted material solutions for your wound care application.

Medical Tapes

Argotec and Delstar tape products are comprised of polyurethane blends, nonwovens, and aperture polyester fabrics. They are used in medical and ostomy product construction, support/attachment and first aid. They are
supplied with a variety of adhesive coatings, to ensure the correct fixation strength and confidence for the wearer. We also offer a selection of carriers and liners to aid processing.

Medical Devices & Packaging

Argotec medical films, extruded from a variety of polyurethane (PU), co-polyesters, polymers, and blends, are utilized for a diverse array of medical applications outside the wound care market. Argotec produces medical utility applications for products like bedding, blood pressure cuffs, medical gowns and drapes, probe covers, prosthetics packaging, and more.
