Wound care

PolarSeal® is a globally recognised wound care manufacturer. Advances in wound care practice have driven huge growth in the design, development, and manufacture of specialist dressings designed to promote rapid healing and pain relief, reduce scarring, and prevent infection, together with quick and infrequent dressing changes. PolarSeal® can translate your designs from concept to reality with a very wide range of wound care manufacturing options including complete device manufacture, material lamination, and medical contract packing.

Application overview

All wounds, ranging from minor cuts and abrasions to serious ulcerated wounds, require an optimum healing environment for healing to occur. There is an almost unlimited number of wound care products that may be required across the full spectrum of modern medical and healing technology.

In-house packing

Our full in-house in-line packaging option provides our clients with complete service and absolute assurance of no risk of transportation contamination.
