Healthcare
As a professional in healthcare, you know better than anyone how important reliable and trouble-free equipment is. Rubber and foam are often indispensable within this industry. Do you need these materials for your medical systems or products? EKI is a manufacturer of foam, rubber, and cellular rubber and supplies companies throughout Europe within the healthcare sector.
Hospitals, systems, and medical aids
Just like the healthcare sector itself, the supply chain requirements within this industry are highly diverse. With our production capabilities, we provide solutions for a wide range of components. EKI supplies products to companies in rehabilitation and orthopaedics, as well as dental practices. In addition, we provide products for wheelchairs and accessories, pharmacy automation, hospital construction, and cleanrooms. In almost no other industry is the importance of airtight and dust-free spaces as great. Foam and rubber are essential to the healthcare industry not only because of their versatility, but also because of their cost-effective nature.
At EKI, you can count on an extensive range of rubber, cellular rubber, and foam solutions that benefit many different parties within healthcare. EKI stands for short lead times, even during peak periods. Moreover, both large and small order volumes are possible. If required, we can also manufacture our products to your exact specifications.
Medical systems, equipment, and aids
The healthcare industry cannot function without medical tools and aids. Every component that contributes to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and conditions must meet strict safety and quality standards before being brought to market. After all, patient wellbeing must always be guaranteed.
Providing comfort, support, and protection to patients is therefore done in such a way that all safety and hygiene requirements are fully met. The properties of these materials also make them suitable for applications where customisation and patient-specific shaping are required. Foam, for example, easily adapts to the contours of the human body, making it an ideal material for manufacturing prosthetics. Other applications for our products include ECG electrodes, braces, wound care, sealing solutions for medical applications, and sports applications such as timing devices.
Face masks
Even before the pandemic, face masks were already indispensable in healthcare. During the COVID crisis, they proved their value more than ever. While most face masks themselves are generally made of polypropylene, the sealing strips for the nose are often made of foam.
During the pandemic, EKI contributed to the production of millions of FFP2 face masks: masks that optimally filter harmful particles and provide a secure seal around the nose and mouth. This is achieved using our foam sealing strips, which significantly improve the wearing comfort of face masks.
Are you a manufacturer of face masks looking for the right material for sealing strips? Then EKI is the right partner for you. Some of our products used for this purpose include EKI 2030 PVC foam and EKI 5580 and EKI 5585 filter foam. You can rely on us for both large and small quantities, fully customised to your needs. During the pandemic, EKI proved it can also realise large-scale production at short notice. This allows us to confidently call ourselves a reliable partner, even during peak periods.
