Decades of experience and in-depth industry knowledge in stoma care
Odor is a major issue for people who have to undergo ostomy surgery. A pouch with an integrated activated carbon filter (ACF) can be used to address these concerns. Freudenberg Performance Materials has created a high-performance ostomy filter that is engineered to remove odors – enhancing the quality of life. The filter therefore makes an indispensable contribution to the patient’s well-being, improving comfort for stoma patients and giving them more freedom.
Activated carbon for reliable odor control
Activated carbon has the strongest physical adsorption forces and the highest volume of adsorbing porosity of all known materials. Our latest state-of-the-art process technology at our site in Littleborough/UK enables different combinations and substrates, such as materials based on wovens, nonwovens, foams, and even combined with thin membranes, creating innovative composite solutions. These unique materials enable our customers to offer market-leading solutions for ostomy management.
Flange materials and comfort covers complete the offer.
Research and development play a key role in Freudenberg’s corporate culture.
