Spunlace for Medical and Wound Care Applications
topic
Medical spunlace fabrics use viscose, lyocell, and polyester fibre blends processed in cleanroom conditions to produce wound dressings, surgical swabs, and medical wipes meeting ISO 13485 manufacturing quality requirements and biocompatibility standards, with medical grade specifications including controlled microbial burden before sterilisation, freedom from chemical extractables, and defined absorbency and tensile properties for surgical and wound care applications.
Role
Produces the nonwoven substrates for disposable medical products requiring the soft, absorbent, and textile-like properties that chemical binder-free spunlace provides, with the absence of synthetic binder making spunlace particularly suitable for wound contact medical applications where binder residues would pose biocompatibility concerns and where the natural absorbency of the uncoated fibre structure provides optimal wound exudate management.
