MED 1827

Single-Coated Foam

MED 1827 is a single-coated, soft, pliable, transparent polyurethane film with an acrylic adhesive. This product’s thin and conformable film offers a high degree of user comfort, while its transparency allows for wound or site visibility; in some applications, it can act as a barrier to assist in decreasing the risk of bacterial infections. This product contains a PE support (casting) sheet to assist with handling and processing and a heavy weight liner ideal for kiss cutting, die cutting and converting.
