Softlon has been trusted for years in a wide range of medical and healthcare applications, thanks to its unique properties and specialized grades. Our physically cross-linked EVA copolymer foams are non-toxic, non-irritating, and designed to meet the strict requirements of the medical industry.

Key Applications & Benefits

  • Pads and Cushions: Softlon provides exceptional shock absorption and cushioning for medical pads, splints, and braces. Its closed-cell structure prevents fluid absorption, making it easy to clean and sanitize.

  • Wound Dressings and Tapes: Specialty grades are used as the base for medical tapes and dressings, offering a gentle, skin-friendly surface that minimizes irritation.
  • Surgical Drapes and Gaskets: Softlon can be die-cut into specific shapes for use as gaskets and seals in medical equipment, ensuring a sterile and reliable barrier.
