TAICEND Unveils Hydrophilic Polyurethane Foam Technology

Hydrophilic Polyurethane Foam Technology from TAICEND TAICEND's Hydrophilic Polyurethane Foam Technology is a patented, specialized material that demonstrates high safety and efficacy in the medical field. It offers numerous clear advantages compared to other materials commonly used for wound dressing, such as gauze and OPsite. These advantages include, among others, high absorption rate, breathability, rapid healing rate, prevention of scar tissue, absence of cytotoxicity risk, and excellent biocompatibility with human fibroblast cells. As mentioned above, TAICEND's Hydrophilic PU Foam possesses an exceptionally high absorption rate, found to have a representative value of 900% according to the EN 13726-1 test method. Water is drawn into the molecular composition of the hydrophilic PU foam, giving it a high water retention rate. This forces dangerous exudate to be rapidly and permanently removed from the wound bed, cleanses the area, and supports healing. This differs from hydrophobic PU foam, which allows exudate to accumulate in the wound bed. Additionally, TAICEND's Hydrophilic PU Foam's high breathability complements its absorption rate. This is demonstrated by a moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) with a representative value of 1680 g/m²·24h⁻¹ following the EN 13726-2 test method. These two properties work together to keep the wound area clean and prevent infection. Regarding non-adhesive properties, TAICEND's Hydrophilic PU Foam has demonstrated performance up to 8 times superior to gauze and opsite. This helps overcome the adhesion problem that many healthcare providers fear when working with patches used in moist wound healing. This also enables easy removal of the dressing for wound observation. Most importantly, the foam's size, thickness, and absorption capacity can also be adjusted to meet the wound's needs. The high efficacy and reliability of TAICEND's Hydrophilic PU Foam is equally reflected in its exceptional healing rate. This is important because modern dressings are expected to facilitate functional and aesthetic regeneration rather than merely covering the wound. In this context, TAICEND's innovative Hydrophilic PU Foam demonstrates much better performance than gauze and opsite, as also seen in the National Cheng Kung University research mentioned above. This is due to its exceptional ability to reduce inflammation and improve re-epithelialization, as well as its moisturizing properties. TAICEND's Hydrophilic PU Foam possesses many revolutionary qualities. While retaining all the advantages of traditional dressings, it contributes to major improvements in wound cleanliness, adhesion, and healing time. Therefore, TAICEND's Hydrophilic Polyurethane Foam Technology can be considered an ideal choice for every medical professional. Source
