Core Advantages

MediShield™ General Isolation Fabric offers a high level of fluid resistance while allowing for moisture vapor transmission, making it perfect for medical environments where protection and comfort are equally important.

  • Fluid Resistance: Effective at blocking light-to-moderate fluid splashes, bloodborne pathogens, and bodily fluids.
  • Breathability: The fabric’s structure enables the passage of water vapor, keeping the wearer cool and comfortable during extended wear, without compromising its barrier properties.
  • AAMI Level 1 Certification: Meets the fluid barrier standards for low-risk medical applications such as general patient interaction and routine care.

MediShield™ General Isolation Fabric is certified to meet the following standards:

  • AAMI Level 1 – Provides reliable protection for low-risk fluid exposure, ensuring that healthcare professionals and patients are protected during routine clinical interactions.
  • EN 14126 – Meets the European standard for protection against infectious agents, offering safety against biological and viral exposure during clinical procedures.

These certifications ensure that MediShield™ fabric is compliant with global healthcare protection requirements, making it a trusted choice for everyday medical use in hospitals and clinics.

Healthcare workers often need to wear isolation gowns for extended periods, which can lead to heat buildup and discomfort. MediShield™ General Isolation Fabric is designed with comfort in mind:

  • Soft, non-abrasive texture that feels gentle on the skin, even after long shifts.
  • Lightweight structure that reduces wearer fatigue without sacrificing protection.
  • Excellent breathability to maintain comfort in high-temperature environments, promoting airflow and moisture wicking.

MediShield™ fabric is manufactured using advanced lamination techniques that ensure:

  • High Tear Strength – Durable enough to withstand the physical stress of routine clinical tasks.
  • Resistance to Delamination – The multi-layer laminate structure ensures long-lasting protection and performance.
  • Seam-Friendly Construction – The fabric is compatible with both ultrasonic welding and seam taping, ensuring that seams remain intact throughout use.
  • Stable Drape and Fabric Conformity – Ensures the gown or protective wear maintains its shape during wear.

MediShield™ General Isolation Fabric is specifically engineered for easy integration into high-efficiency gown production lines. It supports:

  • Ultrasonic welding for strong, precise seams.
  • Seam taping for enhanced durability.
  • Standard cutting and sewing methods to streamline production processes.
  • Multi-layer lamination options (SFS, SMS, SMMS) for improved strength and flexibility.

Redefining the Boundaries of Breathable Technology

Understanding Skin Wellness — The Benchmark for Premium Diapers

In the disposable hygiene industry, preventing leaks is only the baseline; maintaining skin wellness is the true benchmark of a premium product. When urine is absorbed by the core, the trapped moisture creates a humid environment. To meet top-tier skincare requirements, the backsheet must act as a breathable valve. HygieSoft™ achieves this by allowing microscopic water vapor to escape while locking in macroscopic liquids, directly reducing the incidence of diaper dermatitis (diaper rash).

FAQ

Diaper rash is primarily caused by trapped heat and moisture. HygieSoft™ features billions of microscopic pores that allow hot air and water vapor to escape from the diaper (High MVTR), keeping the skin dry and cool, while its waterproof integrity blocks all liquid urine from leaking.

Yes. We use advanced solvent-free lamination technology. Unlike traditional adhesives that may contain residual chemicals or VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), our process is eco-friendly and results in an odorless, hypoallergenic fabric that is safe for direct contact with delicate skin.

Absolutely. We offer high-resolution 4-color printing technology directly on the breathable film. We can customize the patterns, colors, and logos to match your brand identity while ensuring the printing process does not affect the material’s breathability or waterproof performance.

Standard plastic (non-breathable PE) feels like a plastic bag, makes noise, and traps moisture. HygieSoft™ is a textile-like laminate; it is whisper-quiet, incredibly soft to the touch, and "breathes" like a fabric, providing a premium experience for both infants and elderly users.
