Platilon® and Dureflex® TPU Films: For maintained sterility in the operating theatre

Makrofol®, Dureflex®, Bayfol® - Thermoplastic Films: For the high demands of medical packaging
Breast implants require rigid packaging that is transparent, exceptionally impact-resistant and highly sterile. Our Makrofol® MA507 and MA336 polycarbonate films are compatible with autoclave sterilization at temperatures 121°C and beyond and offer the optical clarity needed for visual inspection of the product before unpacking.
For orthopedic implants, Bayfol® MA504 as a two-layer thermoplastic film is the material of choice. The soft side ensures that the rough surface of the implant can’t abrade, the robust external shell protects the implant against shocks during handling and transportation.
Dureflex® TPU films are well suited for the packaging of sharp edged surgical tools as they provide high puncture resistance and excellent hydrolysis
and fungus resistance.
