Medical Fluid Bags

Just what the doctor ordered: Performance, processability and collaborative innovation

Medical fluid bags play a critical role in healthcare. So, it’s extremely important to ensure the bags and their contents remain safe and secure throughout production, shipment, storage and use. Of course, that’s easier said than done. The countless number of variables involved – fluid types, uses, sterilization techniques, regulatory requirements and more – absolutely demand custom-tailored solutions.

That’s why we offer a truly diverse portfolio of materials for multi-layer film structures used in bags for medication, nutrients, saline, lactated ringers, dextrose and other non-blood product fluids.

 

Our medical fluid bag solutions offer flexibility and toughness, sealability, clarity, low additive levels and processability across a broad range of temperatures.

NOTICE: If products are described as “experimental” or “developmental”: (1) product specifications may not be fully determined; (2) analysis of hazards and caution in handling and use are required; (3) there is greater potential for Dow to change specifications and/or discontinue production; and (4) although Dow may from time to time provide samples of such products, Dow is not obligated to supply or otherwise commercialize such products for any use or application whatsoever.
