Medical Grade Foam

Today, many medical device manufacturers require medical grade foam as a component of the medical products they produce. Obtaining the highest quality foam materials to meet their product specifications is critical to maintaining product quality and controlling production costs.

Foam Sciences, producer of Capu-cell, proprietary hydrophilic foam, offers a variety of medical grade foam products. Capu-Cells foam properties provide benefits for many medical wicking applications. The foam’s semi-opened cell design and hydrophilic properties combine to create a unique suite of highly desirable physical and chemical properties great for a many medical applications.

During fluid interactions, Capu-Cell foams have powerful capabilities. Its capacity to absorb up to 15 times its weight in fluids makes it ideal for many fluid removal applications. This same capacity for absorbency can also be used to deliver fluids, and to deliver them at a predictable rate.

The material is also durable. It retains its absorbency capacity even after repeated use, and has high tensile strength, making it a good choice for applications that require longer-term stability.

Foam Sciences, Capu-Cell can be tailored for many applications. Currently the products are available in a range of standard densities and colors. However, the company works with its customers to meet specific product specifications.
