Health & Medicine
Dow helps people live longer and healthier lives with new solutions that improve the quality and safety of medicine, health care, and fitness. Our products and technologies make it possible for physicians to perform minimal and noninvasive surgical procedures, and to use more reliable diagnostic equipment. We help medical professionals and patients avoid infection with disposable hair covers, facemasks, and surgical drapes. Our materials are used in exam and dental gloves that address allergy concerns. Culture trays and bottles are kept clear and cost-effective through Dow’s efforts. We also make contact lenses more pliable and thus safer and easier to use. Dow helps make diapers and other hygiene products soft and absorbent. In pharmaceuticals, Dow products make tablets easier to swallow and help control the rate of drug release. We even make medicines taste better. From eyewashes and toothpastes to medicines and poison ivy solutions, Dow helps people feel better from head to foot. Dow also powers sports. We help make skis, in-line skates, and bicycles lighter, faster, and stronger. Dow helps people stay fit with stronger running shoes, more durable treadmills, and softer running tracks.
