Latex MOS-PV-3050

Compounded latex is commonly used in catheters due to its flexibility and durability. It's a blend of natural rubber latex and various additives, enhancing its performance and reducing the risk of allergic reactions. In catheters, compounded latex ensures the device can navigate smoothly through the urinary tract, while maintaining its structural integrity. This material's resilience allows catheters to withstand the stresses of insertion and removal without tearing or breaking. Additionally, compounded latex can be formulated to have antimicrobial properties, reducing the risk of infections associated with catheter use. Despite its benefits, healthcare providers must be mindful of latex allergies among patients and offer alternative materials when necessary. Advances in catheter design continue to explore materials that balance effectiveness, safety, and patient comfort.

MOS-PV-3050 is a specially developed prevulcanized latex with high modulus property designed for catheter application. It is also suitable for dipping applications like gloves, finger cots, i.e., chlorinated dipped articles.
