Thermoplastic Polyurethane Film For Medical Industry

Medical-Grade TPU Film for Healthcare & Medical Device Applications

American Polyfilm manufactures medical-grade TPU film engineered for use in advanced medical devices, wearables, and wound care applications. Our films are produced with high-performance thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), offering the strength, clarity, and biocompatibility required in today’s healthcare and clinical environments.

Made primarily from polyether TPU, our medical films provide excellent chemical resistance, elasticity, and puncture resistance, even in low-temperature or high-moisture settings. These films are ideal for lamination, thermoforming, and extrusion processes, offering superior bonding and consistent mechanical properties across various medical device applications.

Benefits of Medical-Grade TPU Film

  • Proven biocompatibility, meeting ISO 10993 and FDA standards

  • High abrasion resistance, durability, and wearability

  • Flexible in low-temperature conditions without cracking or stiffening

  • Resists hydrolysis, solvents, skin oils, and disinfectants

  • Supports antimicrobial, flame-retardant, and breathable formulationso

  • Compatible with polymer substrates, silicone adhesives, and textiles

  • Maintains elasticity, soft feel, and functional integrity over time

  • Suitable for both polyether TPU and polyester TPU use cases

Our Polyether-based TPU films also pass Agar Diffusion testing for skin cytotoxicity, making them ideal for direct-contact applications.

Applications Across the Medical Industry

Our medical-grade TPU films are designed for reliable performance in demanding environments. They are used in:

  • Wound care and breathable wound dressings

  • Wearable medical devices and monitoring systems

  • Catheters, fluid barriers, and hospital bedding covers

  • Laminated textiles and medical-grade bags

  • Soft-touch layers for medical equipment and electronic housings

  • Thermoformed films in surgical packs and healthcare packaging

Whether you’re working with disposables, implants, or inflatable medical components, our TPU films deliver the material flexibility and long-term safety needed across the medical industry.
