MED 5732
Single-Coated Nonwoven
MED 5732 is a single-coated, tan polyurethane nonwoven with an acrylic adhesive designed for enhanced comfort and wearablity, and is repositionable during the first 24 hours of wear without sacrificing adhesion.
Typical Application
Designed for applications requiring initial repositionability and breathability, including but not limited to advanced and consumer wound care, patient monitoring, vascular access and surgical drape applications.
Features and Benefits
- Delivers “soft” release from skin during first 24 hours of contact
- Allows atraumatic repositioning or temporary removal
- Static shear, MVTR, and liner release of normal acrylic adhesive
- Adhesive can be coated on a wide array of carriers and designs
- Sterilization compatibility with Ethylene Oxide (EtO) or Gamma Irradiation
