United Foam are experts in fabricating medical device components. Featured at MD&M West will be examples of United Foam’s unique foam to fabric compression molding capabilities.

A fairly new and exciting facet of United Foam is their access to, and fabrication capabilities of, reticulated foams. Reticulated foams are unique in that during creation the window membranes of their cells are removed.

Unique reticulated foam solutions that United Foam has fabricated include a defoamer for a blood oxygenator and wipes used in conjunction with sterilizing solutions in clean environments.
