Nonwoven – a standard in healthcare

During the corona epidemic, nonwoven was on everyone's lips as countries all over the world worked to secure their needs for nonwoven based face masks. But it's not just in face masks that healthcare uses nonwoven – nonwoven is used in lots of products throughout the healthcare sector. Maybe we can help you with nonwoven for your next healthcare product?

Nonwoven has a lot of advantages as it is possible to adjust the properties of the material. Nonwoven can be made liquid-repellent, absorbent, soft, stretchy, rigid, alcohol-resistant and coated with other materials or substances.

Examples of nonwovens in healthcare products:

  • WOUND ABSORBENTS for hygienic healing
  • BEDDING: disposable sheets, bench paper, mattress protectors or urine absorbents
  • CLOTHES:stretchy and soft disposable clothing for patients, disposable aprons for medical personnel and shoe covers
  • CURTAINS:disposable curtains between beds and sections
  • DISPOSABLE PRODUCTS: in plasters, tapes, wipes, face masks, heating and cooling bags
  • STERILIZATION WRAPS for protection of sterilized tools

A world of nonwoven industry textiles

At Scandinavian Nonwoven, we have a long history of working with and offering amazing nonwoven materials to our many customers in the manufacturing industry in northern Europe.
We offer Scandinavia’s largest range of nonwoven materials, and in many cases help our customers develop customized materials suited to their specific needs.

The company was founded in 1982 by two Swedes who by then had already been working with nonwoven for 20 years. They recognized the opportunities that this amazing material has to offer and wanted to help customers seize these opportunities. In-depth knowledge about the material and a close relationship with our customers have been important to us right from the start.

Since then, many industries have realized the advantages offered by the amazing flexible nonwoven.
