Medical Fluid Bags
Advanced Fluid Bag Solutions
Medical fluid bags, including intravenous (IV) bags, are critical to patient care, so materials must deliver safety and reliability through production, shipment, storage, and use. With wide variability in fluid types, sterilization methods, and global regulatory requirements, customized solutions are essential. Dow offers non-PVC medical fluid solution bags made with advanced polyolefin film technologies and medical-grade films that support multilayer parenteral packaging for saline, nutrients, dextrose, and more.
Regulatory assurance is core to our approach: Dow’s strict medical application policy and dedicated regulatory team ensure materials meet global healthcare standards, supporting both internal qualification and external validation across regions and use cases.
Innovative Fluid Bag Materials
Dow’s medical grade film solutions help enable safer, more reliable intravenous bags. Our non-PVC fluid bag materials and polyolefin film medical technologies support strong, customizable multi-layer designs for advanced parenteral packaging needs.
Dow’s ENGAGE™ Polyolefin Elastomers and AFFINITY™ Polyolefin Plastomers from Dow offer fluid bag materials designed for cleanliness and secure sealing. These medical grade films help ensure intravenous bags maintain sterility and integrity throughout their use.
Seal strength is critical for non-PVC medical fluid solution bags. Our polyolefin films offer clarity, toughness, and reliable sealing performance—helping fluid bags withstand sterilization while protecting medications, nutrients, and parenteral fluids.
Tie layer resins like BYNEL™ Adhesive Resins and ELVAX™ EVA Copolymers support strong bonding in multilayer fluid bag films. This helps ensures durability and consistency, helping intravenous bags perform reliably under demanding medical conditions.
With DOW™ HEALTH+™ Polymers and Pack Studios support, medical fluid bag design and testing move faster. From gamma irradiation stability to global supply, we help streamline development of advanced fluid bag packaging solutions.
HEALTH+™ Resins for Medical Fluid Bags
HEALTH+™ resins enable safe, consistent medical-grade films for fluid bags and parenteral packaging—built for compliance and patient trust, with supply security (1-yr NOC + 1-yr right-to-buy).
ENGAGE™ POEs for Contact Layers
ENGAGE™ polyolefin elastomers deliver safe, durable medical fluid bag contact layers for non-PVC medical fluid bags—high flexibility boosts drop resistance; strong low-temp performance.
AFFINITY™ POPs for Secure Contact Layers
AFFINITY™ polyolefin plastomers provide soft, tough, clear medical-grade fluid bag contact layers with high flexibility, low seal initiation temps, and excellent sealing performance.
BYNEL™ Adhesive Tie Layers
BYNEL™ Adhesive Tie Layer resins offerstrong adhesion between dissimilar films, helping enable secure, multi-layer fluid bag material designs that adhere to demanding parenteral packaging needs.
ELVAX™ EVA Resins for Flexible Tie Layers
ELVAX™ EVA Copolymer resins support reliable tie layer performance in medical fluid solutions bags. Ideal for intravenous bags and non-PVC fluid bag film structures requiring toughness and sealability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Medical fluid bag materials must offer strength, puncture and tear resistance, chemical compatibility, barrier protection, sterilization resilience, and regulatory compliance. Strict medical application policy and dedicated regulatory team ensures our materials address global healthcare standards supporting both internal and external validation.
Non-PVC medical fluid bag materials reduce environmental impact, eliminate phthalates, release less HCI and no dioxins when incinerated, and offer an improved design for recyclability while maintaining performance.
Medical-grade films prevent contamination, maintain chemical stability, resist leaks or ruptures, and support controlled, accurate fluid delivery. Strict medical application policy and dedicated regulatory team ensures our materials address global healthcare standards supporting both internal and external validation.
Polyolefin-based films and medical-grade resins can withstand gamma irradiation, ethylene oxide, and steam sterilization without compromising strength or clarity, making them a good choice for advanced parenteral packaging systems.
Clear films allow quick visual inspection of fluids, detect particulates or discoloration, and support safe and accurate administration.
