Medical Foam Converter

Beyond manufacturing, Vita Group acts as a complete medical foam converter, providing custom medical and reticulated foam solutions tailored to your specific needs. Our team of specialists works closely with clients to understand their requirements and develop optimised foam components that deliver exceptional comfort, pressure relief, and durability.

The Vita Group takes pride in being a strong and reliable supplier and development partner to the medical market. Our open cell, reticulated foam products are used extensively throughout the medical sector; employing unique honeycomb structures of interconnected cells Vita reticulated foam provides numerous distinctive properties that are tailored for medical applications: high flexibility (easily shaped or moulded to surfaces), resilient to compression and deformation, high porosity for excellent airflow between interconnected cells.

Our reticulated foam products continuously provide solutions in the different medical polyurethane applications meeting the most stringent requirements.

Applications include

  • Bandages
  • Wound Dressings
  • Wound Management
  • Heat, Moisture, Exchange (HME) Filters
  • Pharmaceutical Packaging

Medical Foam Applications

Bandages

Due to their elastic and air permeable properties, reticulated polyurethane foams find very wide usage within diverse compression bandage solutions. The rapidly falling pressure tension of polyurethane foams allows a nearly consistent distribution of the contact pressure and thus avoidance of dreaded pressure peaks. In addition to consistent distribution of pressure and cushioning, Vita reticulated foams enhance absorption and breathability for bandages, promoting effective wound healing through air circulation and heavy drainage absorption.

Reticulated Foam

  • Reticulated foam is used as a wound filling material for problematic wounds in negative pressure wound therapy due to its soft elastic properties with a defined and extremely open cell structure.
  • The use of a filter foam creates a moist environment allowing exudate to drain away, allowing contraction of the wound edges.
  • Reticulated polyether and polyester grades we are offering a variety of densities, colours and pore sizes from PPI 20 to PPI 45.

Specialised Foams

  • The Vita Group manufactures a range of polyether and polyester foams which are suitable for bandages, body supports, medical accessories and more.
  • These foams provide softness and elasticity to the user amongst other benefits.

Wound Dressing

Foam dressings with the use of semi-permeable reticulated polyurethane foams, help to maintain a moist wound environment which accelerates the healing process by protecting the injury or wound from bacteria. Foam cushioning protects the wound and peri-wound area from additional trauma and provides thermal insulation.

Wound Management

Vita’s medical polyurethane foams are biologically non irritant, they exert a strong granulation stimulus and serve as a matrix for new tissue formation in the granulation phase. Our medical foams allow a free exchange of gas and water vapour and thus provides an ideally moist climate on the wound surface. The wound is well cushioned by the dressing and is protected against external cold stimuli and mechanical influences. Some foam dressings include a bacterial barrier made from a transparent film or are impregnated with an antimicrobial agent.

Reticulated Foam

  • MetzoGral EN offers bespoke and comfortable ready-to-install armrest applications without the need for additional use of fabric.
  • MetzoGral EN is an injected moulded foam grade which is compliant with EN45545-2.
  • Can be used for seat pan in trams or metros.
  • Vita fulfils almost every design including the integration of metal or wooden inserts, as well as painted versions.

HME Filters

HME Filters are used widely across many ventilator types including neonatal sizes. With precise specifications, HME filters are designed to replicate the functions of the body’s upper airway by conserving expired heat and moisture and returning these to the patient during inhalation. Vita reticulated medical foams provide efficient and effective filtration of airborne pathogens, bacteria and viruses in HME filters, enhancing air quality for patients and reducing the risk of respiratory distress.

Impregnated Foams

  • Within the Vita Group we have the capability of Impregnation which are highly tuned formulations to impart specific characteristics.
  • The end product is used widely across many ventilator types even down to tiny neo-natal sizes. The impregnation with the CaCl2 makes the foam hygroscopic, the moisture exchange filter component passively humidifies the inspired air by returning a percentage of the patients expired moisture to his/her airways.
  • The filters used can achieve moisture output in the region of (30mg. L-1).

Pharmaceutical Packaging

Vita converts die cut inserts, designed to hold vials and syringes for clinical trials. High density foams are strong enough to hold and secure the vials in place during transport. Our foam solutions reduce the risk of breakage and damage in transport to ensure safe delivery of vials and syringes.

Closed Cell PE

  • Closed cell polyethylene foams are an ideal solution for protective packaging in the medical sector. The closed cell nature of our polyethylene foams ensure resistance to liquids, protecting medical devices and components that require protection from moisture and contaminants. Our closed cell PE foams are available in a diverse range of colours, customisable to your medical branding requirements. As a result, the foam solution is especially suitable for high-end, corporate applications where high-quality protective packaging is a necessity. Our closed cell polyethylene foams are wipeable and will not incur moisture, water or liquid absorption, rendering them suitable for re-use in medical packaging to support sustainability efforts. Our Polyethylene foams are available in a wide range of densities to provide flexible, tailored foam solutions to your medical packaging requirements. 

High-Loaded-Bearing Foams

  • High-load bearing foams are a form of high density polyurethane foam, widely used for medical packaging applications. Our high-load bearing foams provide enhanced protectivity and are suitable for a variety of foam converting methods including: die-cutting, routing, CNC profiling and laminating. Available in a diverse range of colours, Vita is equipped with the expertise and ability to supply high and low density polyurethane foams to provide excellent high load bearing properties to your packaging weight requirements.
