Advanced Wound Care Solutions

Filtrona Porous Technologies’ components are highly adaptable to meet precise fluid absorption or leak resistance challenges for medical and surgical devices. Primarily used in advanced wound care applications, our hydrophilic polyurethane foams are manufactured from an industry-unique process and achieve super absorbency to rapidly wick exudate. The foam can also be custom formulated for a variety of wound care applications, including conventional and specialty dressings.

Our newest hydrophilic foam products include Medisponge® SuperSoft foams and Medisponge® Composite foams. SuperSoft foams feature an ultra-soft feel and high absorptive capacities. The Composite foams feature high tear strength due to its hybrid structure comprising a fiber web interspersed throughout the foam matrix.
