brand hydrophilic prepo-
lymers, which are used to manufacture polyuretha- ne foams for medical wound dressings. The foams absorb aqueous liquids and retain them better than conventional foams. They can be combined with Platilon®
thermoplastic polyurethane films, which
are water vapor permeable and allow wounds to bre- athe. One example is Bayblend®
M850XF, a blend
of polycarbonate and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene that is very well suited for the production of housings for medical equipment. This includes primarily surgical instruments, diagnostic equipment and drug administration systems.
