Uncoated and Coated Tyvek

For the production of breathable medical packaging, there are really only two options – medical paper, or Tyvek.

Tyvek® is actually made of spun bound Olefin fibres, each between 0.5-10 µm in width, which are compressed and heated in order to bond them together. This construction technique gives Tyvek® its great strength, and also makes it totally waterproof.

Its strength helps Tyvek® protect and maintain the sterility of high-risk medical products, from artificial hips to heart valves.

Depending on the material it will be sealed with, the Tyvek may be coated or uncoated.
