Medical Nonwovens

Medical & Industrial Nonwoven Textiles:

Medical and Industrial Nonwovens are used in various sectors, such as Medical, Agriculture, Hygiene, Packing, Bedding, and Furnishing, Acoustic, and Construction.

Nonwovens in the medical field provide protection against biological agents. They deliver critical safety properties, such as prevention against infections and diseases. With today’s multi-drug resistant strains of bacteria and viruses, nonwovens can help in the fight against cross-contamination and the spread of infection in a medical or surgical environment. Because they are used only once and incinerated after use, the need for handling is avoided and the spread of contaminants is minimised.

Proteq offers a wide selection of nonwoven materials such as 100% PP Spunbond, Meltblown and their composites, eg. SMS, SMMS and laminated nonwovens that are widely used in medical disposable products.
