High performance substrates that help you stay ahead.
Ahlstrom medical fabrics are made of single-use nonwovens and are widely preferred to reusable conventional linen as they deliver higher levels of protection against viruses and reduce the risk of Hospital Acquired Infections (HAI).
In the operating room, the success of a surgery is a combination of several factors and choosing the right material for a surgical drape is one of them. Fabric barrier and strength are key requirements for surgical drapes, yet other properties such as drapeability and linting must be taken into account to protect the patient and not interfere with the surgery process.
Ahlstrom offers a wide range of single-use medical fabrics designed to deliver highest levels of protection and meet all requirements of surgical drape applications. Our unique portfolio of technologies offers a variety of materials ranging from film-based composites to SMS (spunbond/meltblown/spunbond), spunlace or wetlaid nonwovens. Our drape materials are available in a range of compositions, weights and colors -- and their properties can be tailored to match the specific performance requirements.
