Polyurethane Foams

The inspire® brand of polyurethane foam has been developed for professional woundcare products where soft cushioning, insulation and ease of application are required. The foam materials are typically provided with a thin inspire film on the surface to achieve a low coefficient of friction and bacterial barrier. Versions without a film surface are available.

The standard inspire range of polyurethane foam is available in thicknesses from 250µm to 600µm however the polyurethane foam can be tailored to customer specifications for thickness, softness and colour. Standard colours within the range include white, beige (tan) and pink. The white foam will not "yellow" on exposure to light or radiation.
