Medical film " refers to a variety of film materials used in the field of medicine, which are usually used in drug packaging, drug transmission systems, medical equipment packaging, etc. These films must meet strict hygiene standards and have good biocompatibility and chemical stability. Here are several common types of medical membranes and their uses:
Polyester thin film (PET Film):
Characteristics: Good mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and transparency.
Use: Suitable for drug blister packaging, labeling, etc.
Polypropylene thin film (PP Film):
Characteristics: Good heat resistance, transparency and sealing.
Use: For drug packaging, especially for packaging requiring hot sealing.
PVC thin film (PVC Film):
Features: good transparency and flexibility.
Use: Suitable for drug packaging requiring thermal contraction.
Polyethylene thin film (PE Film):
Characteristics: strong flexibility, good chemical resistance.
Use: for soft packaging, medicine bags, etc.
Polyimide thin film (Polyimide Film):
Characteristics: extremely high heat resistance and chemical stability.
Use: Suitable for the insulation layer of medical devices, such as catheter, sensors, etc.
Polyurethane thin film (PU Film):
Characteristics: good elasticity and wear resistance.
Use: for transdermal drug delivery system, protective layer of medical devices, etc.
PTFE thin film (PTFE Film):
Characteristics: extremely low coefficient of friction, chemical corrosion resistance.
Use: A coating for medical devices to reduce friction and wear.
Silicon rubber film:
Characteristics: soft, high temperature resistance, good biocompatibility.
Use: seals, implants, etc., used for medical devices.
Biodegradable thin film:
Characteristics: environmentally friendly and degradable.
Use: for the packaging of disposable medical supplies to reduce environmental pollution.
Drug transport system Thin Film:
Characteristics: Ability to control the drug release rate.
Use: For drug delivery systems such as controlled release patch and oral disintegration tablet.
