Suominen, a leading nonwovens company, has launched Fibrella Wrap, a new material for undercast paddings and cushions used in wound care, onto the South American market. Fibrella Wrap is extremely soft and skin-friendly material that conforms well to body contours. It expands the company’s nonwoven product offering for medical applications in South America.

The new material has been produced utilising Suominen’s recent investments in upgraded production technology in its Paulínia, Brazil plant.

Fibrella Wrap is an outstanding option for paddings used under casts to protect bones and for any wound care application where cushion is needed. Since it conforms well to body contours, it makes patient feel more comfortable when forced to wear a cast.

For healthcare professionals, Fibrella Wrap nonwoven offers ease in use since paddings made of it are strong enough to be applied in a circular fashion while can also be easily torn when needed. It contains no binders, chemicals or adhesives and is compatible with all common sterilisation methods, which makes Fibrella Wrap clean and safe material in professional care.

“In South America, cotton wadding is the most typical material used under casts and in wound care but it has two major weaknesses: it has no strength and it can be difficult to apply for the clinicians. Fibrella Wrap has no such weaknesses. Its safety and cleanliness is proven and when we add Suominen’s local production into the mix, we may say that Fibrella Wrap is the superior padding material available in the market,” says Marika Mäkilä, product manager for medical applications at Suominen.
