Medical Drapes, Gowns, and Masks

Reusable surgical gowns and drapes must be up to 100 times washed and sterilized; the medical fabric-membrane-fabric laminated with H.B. Fuller HMMC will meet the industry standards to ensure medical professional and patients’ safety against liquids and microorganisms, and comfort with high breathability.

Disposable surgical gowns are assembled by laminating two nonwoven pieces to both sides of a barrier film. Surgical face masks require adhesive solutions for strap attachment, mask forming, and fabric lamination. Surgical drapes are assembled by attaching typical components such as nonwoven anesthesia screen, poly arm covers, and nonwoven main panel using adhesives.

Adhesives in protective gear often bonds materials and also seals joints to prevent contamination. We offer many solutions for medical protective gear bonding and sealing applications:

• Face mask lens bonding and sealing
• Hose attachment bonding  
• Protective garment seam sealing
