Healthcare - Bandages,
Sponges, Cast Wrap:
Micrex technology has been utilized to provide a high level of bulk and
stretch to a variety of medical products. These Micrex converted
products are being utilized as bandages, surgical sponges, cast wrap and
wound dressings. Manufactures in the United States, Europe and Asia are
now utilizing Micrex equipment for these applications. The volume of
these unique products continues to increase every year.
One example is stretch bandage and gauze. The Microcreping is
accomplished by the use of a unique blade set-up commonly referred to as
the "Micrex Gauze Package". The package used with our standard Flat Roll
Compactor can produce high bulk and stretch gauze products in 1, 2, 3,
4, and 6 plies. Processing speeds are normally in the 100 meter per
minute range with little or no lint generation.

Extremely high levels of compaction are achievable and since
Microcreping is a dry process, no wetting, drying, or chemicals are
required as with other processes.
