MED 5769A

Single-Coated Nonwoven

MED 5769A is a single coated soft, pliable, tan polyethylene nonwoven with a thin, acrylic, highly absorbent adhesive. This product's unique proprietary adhesive formulation, TASA™ (Thin Absorbent Skin Adhesive), allows air and moisture to pass freely through the breathable adhesive and nonwoven carrier, which can support extended wear time and reduce the likelihood of skin maceration. Its thin profile increases conformability.


Typical Application

Designed for advanced and consumer wound care, ostomy applications and securement.
