What Are Breathable Films?
Breathable films are thin, flexible materials that allow moisture vapor transmission (MVTR) while preventing liquid or bacterial penetration. In medical and wound care applications, they help maintain a balanced skin environment, promoting faster healing and comfortable long-term wear. Our medical-grade breathable films are available as standalone layers or combined with adhesive coatings to create custom, high-performance medical tapes.
Why Breathability Matters
Breathability directly impacts skin comfort, adhesion performance, and healing efficiency.Kenosha’s breathable materials regulate moisture and temperature while maintaining strong adhesion and gentle removal — essential for wound dressings, wearable sensors, and transdermal patches.
Key benefits include:
- Improved patient comfort and skin compatibility
- Controlled moisture evaporation for healthy healing
- Reduced risk of maceration and irritation
- Reliable adhesion during long-term wear
Material Options and Constructions
Our breathable films and tapes are available in multiple medical-grade constructions, including:
- Polyurethane (PU) and polyethylene (PE) films with high MVTR values
- Nonwoven breathable tapes for flexibility and softness
- Skin-friendly adhesive coatings for sensitive skin
- Laminated composites for added strength and controlled breathability
Each material can be customized in thickness, permeability, and adhesive chemistry to fit your specific device or wound care design.
Applications in Medical and Wound Care Devices
Kenosha’s breathable films and tapes are used in:
- Wound dressings and surgical coverings
- Transdermal patches and drug delivery systems
- Wearable sensors and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs)
- IV site dressings and catheter fixation
- Scar therapy films and healing patches
Our films maintain adhesion under variable skin conditions while allowing natural moisture exchange for comfort and healing.
Custom Solutions & Capabilities
We offer both standard and custom solutions, including:
- Tailored MVTR levels for specific healing or wear requirements
- Coating on flexible films, foams, or nonwovens
- Die-cutting and lamination under controlled conditions
- Prototype and production-scale rolls with consistent quality
Our in-house converting capabilities ensure tight tolerances, full traceability, and uniform adhesive coating across all production batches.
