MED 5576A

Single-Coated Film

MED 5576A is a single-coated, soft, pliable, transparent polyurethane film with an acrylic adhesive. This product’s thin and comformable film offers a high degree of user comfort, while its transparency allows for wound or site visibility; in some applications, it can act as a barrier to assist in decreasing the risk of bacterial infections. 

Typical Application

Designed for incise applications, wound care, IV securement and situations requiring high MVTR and sustained periods of wear.
