Argotec Introduces New Argomedplus 18411 Polyurethane Film-on-paper with Controlled Release

Argotec, Inc., of Greenfield Massachusetts U.S.A., has introduced ArgoMedPLUS 18411, a revolutionary new thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film-on-paper product that will allow medical adhesive coaters, converters and distributor/retailers an alternative film source with which to participate in frame-type wound dressing and surgical drape markets.

Of the many wound bandage designs available today – film, island, frame, and combinations thereof – all except frame-type dressings have enjoyed a wide variety of material choices. One of the greatest challenges to successfully marketing frame dressings has been creating a film product with the correct peel release between the paper and film. (Similar technical challenges and processes are present in surgical drape applications.)
