It is rather associated with the building industry: polyurethane foams are successfully used for thermal and acoustic insulation of buildings, and polyurethane adhesives, or various types of pipes made of this material are used, for example, in bathrooms. Hundreds of articles have been written about the advantages of this material in construction. Even environmentalists spoke on this matter saying that it is an allergy-friendly product that does not emit hazardous substances to the environment, and is … supposedly biodegradable (?).

It is easy to find polyurethane products in our closest surroundings. Although we are not always aware of the fact that polyurethane - in the form of a film, spray, gel or foam - is present in the products that accompany us every day. We sleep on a polyurethane mattress that adapts to the shape of the body, ensuring the correct position during sleep. When going to work, we put on a raincoat and a windproof jacket (coated with polyurethane for better protection) when the weather forecast indicates rain. We take a polyurethane bag to work, from which we can easily remove any dirt using a regular cloth. Very often, the soles in our shoes are also made of polyurethane. We get into the car, where polyurethane is literally everywhere - a steering wheel, dashboard, gear lever, car seats, in the headliner and fenders. On the way, we collect a package with a gift for a child - a polyurethane play mat resistant to damage and abrasion. The product was, of course, protected with polyurethane foam. For a holiday in the mountains, we take trekking shoes that protect against the cold thanks to a polyurethane coating; and for a swim we take the swimming cap, also covered with polyurethane.

No wonder that the manufacturers of medical devices could not remain indifferent to the advantages of polyurethane, using this substance to assist in wound healing.

The polyurethane film is impermeable to water, dirt and bacteria. In addition, it drains water vapor to the outside, thanks to which the skin under the plaster or dressing breathes freely and does not macerate. An invaluable feature is that the polyurethane film adapts to the anatomy of the body, which is why it is called the "second skin" as it is virtually imperceptible and imperceptible.

The TZMO offer includes plasters and dressings on a polyurethane substrate, each of them having all the above-described unique properties of polyurethane film. We invite you get to know our products that are resistant to water, allow the skin to "breathe" and adapt to the shape of the body:

• COMFORT PLUS - hydrocolloid dressings that protect against water, dirt and contamination. They are used for first aid in the treatment and prevention of blisters. They are especially recommended for shock-absorption, i.e. protection of places exposed to pressure, for the prevention of blistering by eliminating friction and pressure on exposed areas.
• FIXOPORE F - postoperative dressings which are intended mainly for treating postoperative wounds at home after the patient is discharged from the hospital. They can also be used to treat other minor wounds, cuts and abrasions.
• HAPPY TATTOO - ultra-thin plasters for children with a cheerful print. They are used to secure cuts and abrasions. Fully waterproof, suitable for bathing.

We highly recommend you to try the beneficial properties of polyurethane.
