WEINHEIM, Germany, November 26, 2024-

The Healthcare segment is an important pillar in the portfolio of Freudenberg Performance Materials (Freudenberg). The portfolio for the healthcare segment includes components for modern and traditional miracle care, elastic carrier materials, products for incontinence management and filters for ostomy care. Now the manufacturer is expanding its technology spectrum to include bioresorbable nonwovens. These will initially be used for hemostasis applications in surgery.

"With the expansion of our technology spectrum to include bioresorbable nonwovens for hemostasis in surgery, we can offer our customers another innovative solution that is more effective than previous solutions, therefore reduces costs and in some cases can even save lives," says Dr. Henk R. Randau, General Manager and SVP of the Global Healthcare Division of Freudenberg Performance Materials. The technology is nonwovens made from bioresorbable raw materials that are broken down by the body. Freudenberg has designed its own plant for this purpose and plans to use the technology to offer a wide range of solutions for bioactive wound healing, drug release and regenerative medicine with partners in the future.
