Suominen, a leading manufacturer of nonwovens for wiping products, has launched three new FIBRELLA products in its medical business segment at the ongoing global Medica exhibition in Düsseldorf, Germany.

FIBRELLA Zorb and FIBRELLA Zorb+ are both new nonwoven products designed for use in the Operating Rooms (OR) in hospitals for critical surgical applications. Used as specially tailored additions to standard draping techniques to isolate the patient and OR staff, FIBRELLA Zorb and FIBRELLA Zorb+ bring added value benefits to the critical care environment. FIBRELLA Zorb is an absorbent light weight top layer with a new texture utilising Suominen's unique patterning. FIBRELLA Zorb+ is a highly absorbent structure designed for use around the incision site for fenestrations in surgical drapes, according to a press release.

FIBRELLA Perf, a range of nonwovens for wound care and gentle cleansing has an apertured structure which makes it very soft and skin friendly. FIBRELLA Perf for medical applications, initially introduced to the market in South America in March, is now manufactured at all Suominen's manufacturing sites around the world opening up new geographies for its sale.

Lynda Kelly, SVP Care business area said, “Our strategic plans to develop and grow in the medical market is clearly reflected in these exciting new FIBRELLA products which bring high value added benefits to our customers and patients alike. High performance nonwovens offer improved standards of care to the healthcare professionals around the globe.”

Marika Mäkilä, global medical product manager said, “Suominen's commitment to the medical market with new manufacturing and R&D resources means we will be able to continue to develop new and differentiated products for the specialist medical arena.”

Suominen manufactures nonwovens as roll goods for wipes as well as for medical and hygiene products. (GK)
