Application of EVA in medical industry
-
Diagnostic and Therapeutic Packaging Products:
EVA films can be used to produce various diagnostic and therapeutic packaging products, such as pharmaceutical packaging and medical device packaging. These packaging materials offer excellent moisture-proof, antibacterial, and antiviral properties, effectively preventing medical supplies from contamination and viral infiltration, thereby ensuring the safety and efficacy of medical products. -
Inner Liner Packaging:
In medical device packaging, EVA inner liners leverage their advantages in shock absorption, waterproofing, and environmental friendliness to protect medical devices from damage during transportation and storage. Additionally, the smooth and refined surface of EVA materials minimizes dust generation, reducing the risk of infection.
Medical Equipment and Supplies
-
Medical Device Components (e.g., Liquid Transfer Tubes, Blood Collection Tubes):
EVA films can be used to manufacture certain components of medical devices, particularly those requiring excellent sealing and corrosion resistance. However, in scenarios involving direct contact with blood or pharmaceuticals, higher-standard materials may be necessary to meet biocompatibility and safety requirements. -
Medical Ice Packs:
Due to their superior sealing and durability, EVA films are suitable for producing the outer packaging of medical ice packs, ensuring their effectiveness and safety during storage and use. -
Daily Medical Supplies:
EVA films are also used in packaging or components of daily medical supplies, such as packaging bags for medical masks or the backing layer of medical tapes. While seemingly simple, these applications still require materials with moisture resistance, tear resistance, and other critical properties.
Specialized Medical Products
- Medical Surgical Gowns:
EVA films can be utilized to produce medical surgical gowns, providing essential protective functions such as waterproofing and stain resistance. Although other specialized medical-grade materials are more commonly used for surgical gowns in practice, the unique properties of EVA films make them a viable option for specific scenarios.
