• Standard Components
  • Custom Components

Mylan Technologies Inc. A Viatris Company produces extruded films and adhesive laminates for use in third-party medical device applications.

While many options and additives exist for today’s skin contact medical devices, the core elements are backing films, release liners, and pressure-sensitive adhesives. We offer standard components that incorporate these core elements in roll form, available with a wide range of attributes.

MEDIFILM®

These extruded and co-extruded films feature four standard film categories, each with distinct characteristics to meet the specific requirements of wound care and ostomy applications. Each are from 0.5 mil to 6 mils thick with widths up to 61 inches. Our innovative co-extrusion operation allows two different resins to be configured in A-B or A-B-A laminates along with a substrate, all in a single pass.

MEDIFILM® 300—Series-extruded from co-polyester resins, providing a wide range of moisture vapor transmission rates (MVTRs) [Mylan medifilm 325; Mylan medifilm 390]

MEDIFILM® 400—Series-extruded polyurethane-based films available with a range of low to medium MVTR, as well as different levels of coefficient of friction [Mylan medifilm 426; Mylan medifilm 437]

MEDIFILM® 500—Extruded ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA) based films used as a rate-controlling membrane, or in applications that require lower moisture vapor transmission [Mylan medifilm 500]

MEDIFILM® 800—Extruded polyether block amide creating a high MVTR with a low coefficient of friction[Mylan medifilm 810]

Mylan Technologies Inc. A Viatris Company, manufactures wound care components and related technologies of coating, laminating, and film extrusion. Our innovative approach leads to the design and development of exceptional thin film products.

Extruded films and adhesive laminates for use in third-party medical device and other applications are available.

Let us help you create advanced, custom-designed products for medical device and wound care applications, including coating and laminating, film extrusion and co-extrusion, adhesive solvating, and manufacturing.

Coating

  • Production Equipment-Widths up to 44 inches
  • Multi-zone Impinged Air Drying-UV, IR, Thermal Curing (ambient to 500° F) RTO Incinerator used for solvent-based systems.
  • Adhesive Blending & Solvating-Reduce block materials for solvating process.
  • Modular systems-Allow for different configurations on same coating line.

We offer several coating processes and configurations.

Knife-Over-Roll Coating
Reverse Roll Coating
Gravure Coating

Knife-Over-Roll Coating

For versatile stripe coating and higher viscosities, knife-over-roll coating is preferred.

  • Coating Knife
  • Coating Liquid
  • Backing Roll

Reverse Roll Coating

Best for coating a variable or uneven caliper substrate.

  • Flexible Doctor Blade
  • Metering Roll
  • Applicator Roll
  • End Dam
  • Drip Pan
  • Rubber Backing Roll
Gravure Coating

Excellent for controlling the coatings used most frequently in long production runs. Reverse direct gravure is the optimal technique for low coat weights and smooth coating finishes.

  • Doctor Blade
  • Rubber Backing Roll
  • Engraved Roll
  • Smoothing Roll

Extrusion

Thin film extrusion is the science of taking plastic pellets and melting them in a controlled fashion to produce a thin film made to an exact thickness. We have the ability to produce, under cGMP conditions, cast monolayer extruded films and extrusion coatings as well as cast co-extruded films. They can be produced either as bonded laminated on a carrier or cast on a strippable liner.

A wide variety of polymers can be chosen to create your desired film.

Polyurethane - TPU
Ethylene Vinyl Acetate - EVA
Co-polyester - CoPET
Polyether Block Amide - PBA
Ethylene Methacrylic - EMA
Low Density Polyethylene - LDPE
Polypropylene – PP

Combined with the ability to customize attributes such as thickness, release force, color, or choice of carrier substrate. Introduction of additional substrates can be incorporated as well. Further attributes are listed below.

  • Mono or Co-Extrusion
  • Volumetric Feed System for Additives, Enhancers, Pigments, Antimicrobials
  • Various Finishes -Textured Embossed, Matte, High-gloss
  • Process Temperature Range up to ~ 800° F
  • Various Mixing and Conveying Screw Configurations
