MediShield™ KHPP

Microporous Filler-Free PP Medical Barrier Laminate

MediShield KHPP Microporous PP Medical Barrier Laminate

MediShield™ KHPP is a microporous polypropylene barrier material developed for breathable medical laminates requiring fluid protection, viral barrier performance, and lightweight comfort.

Its engineered microporous structure allows air and moisture vapor to escape while helping block external liquids and biological contaminants.

Microporous Breathable Viral Barrier

Microporous PP Technology for Medical Protection

KHPP uses an engineered filler-free polypropylene microporous structure to balance air and moisture-vapor transfer with medical barrier performance. The membrane is lightweight, breathable, and suitable for laminated protective materials requiring reliable fluid and viral resistance.

Redefining the Boundaries of Breathable Technology

Understanding AAMI Level 4 — The Benchmark for Barrier Integrity

AAMI Level 4 is the highest protection level under the AAMI PB70 standard. It is assigned to materials used in high-fluid, high-infection-risk procedures, including orthopedic, cardiovascular, and trauma surgeries. To meet Level 4 requirements, the fabric must pass ASTM F1671 viral penetration testing—the defining threshold separating Level 3 and Level 4.

AAMI LEVEL 4

FAQ

AAMI Level 4 requires passing the ASTM F1671 Viral Penetration Test. While Level 3 resists liquid splash, Level 4 provides a total barrier against bloodborne pathogens and viruses in high-risk environments.

By integrating AquaVene™ or MicroBreath™ membranes, the fabric achieves a high moisture vapor transmission rate (6,000–7,000 g/m²·24hr), allowing heat and sweat to escape while remaining 100% liquid-impermeable.

Yes. Its high-barrier laminate structure effectively blocks hazardous chemical and drug exposure, meeting the safety requirements for oncology gowns and high-fluid procedures.

We use a multi-layer SFS/SMS laminate (Nonwoven + Film + Nonwoven). This ensures high tear strength, puncture resistance, and excellent compatibility with seam-sealing technologies.

Absolutely. We offer customizable Basic Weight (48–100 gsm), Width (80–2000 mm), and Colors (White/Blue/Green) to meet your specific regional or clinical requirements.

Our fabric is fully certified to meet AAMI PB70 Level 4, ASTM F1671/F1670, ISO 16604, and EN 14126 for maximum clinical reliability.
