ABSTRACT:
Soft, flexible films suitable for human skin contact are required for disposable medical devices. Soft, flexible monolayer elastomer films have been developed that are suitable for human skin contact and provide improved low-temperature flexibility and improved strength to weight ratio over conventional polyvinyl chloride films for medical uses. Embodiments of the flexible monolayer elastomer film include styrene-ethylene-propylene-styrene block copolymers (SEPS), SEPS/polyolefin mixtures, SEPS/polyolefin/ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer mixtures, and EVA/polyolefin mixtures.
