Medical Applications

The polyacrylate super absorbent chemistry, on which OASIS Super Absorbent Fibre (OASIS SAF®) is based, has been extensively tested to establish its safe for use status in application areas requiring a high degree of toxicity and regulatory approval. These studies include allergenicity, irritation, dermal, genetic, reproductive and ingestion research.

A range of fabrics containing OASIS SAF®, can be manufactured to exacting specifications, ensuring high in use integrity. OASIS SAF® can be used within a range of specialist medical care application areas.

Technical Absorbents is committed to the continued development of OASIS SAF® products to meet the ever growing number of opportunities for its super absorbent technology within this challenging sector.

Dental Applications

OASIS SAF® today forms the basis for new dental fabrics that offer significantly increased saliva absorbency compared to traditional substrates such as cotton rolls. Benefits in dental procedures can be gained from enhanced fluid management and control, to provide dentists with advanced capabilities where precise control over saliva absorption and high levels of patient comfort is critical.
