Web processing for medical and skin care products
Patient and user-friendly wound care products suited for acute or chronic, non-healing wounds or sores continue to evolve. In addition to classic wound dressings with a great diversity of formats, Harro Höfliger’s modular machine concepts allow the flexible production and packaging of advanced wound care systems that feature complex structures. Included among them are foams, hydrocolloids, hydrogels and alginates as well as antimicrobial dressings for state-of-the-art wound management.
Dressings can also be fitted with „smart“ onboard technology for added value. All processes for manufacturing wound dressings, as well as skin care products such as corn plasters and heel care patches, can be scaled from laboratory to high-performance machinery.

Our expertise
Web material handling
In the manufacturing of multi-layer products, what is essential is to be fully knowledgeable of the properties and behavior of the individual web materials. With our many years of experience we offer individual solutions using modular technologies, unique in their combination and based on extensive PoP.
Medical products
In addition to traditional wound care products, we are leaders in the manufacturing of modern wound care systems that feature complex structures. Included among them, for example, are foams, hydrocolloids, hydrogels and alginates as well as antimicrobial wound dressing.
On-board technology
Wound care systems with additional benefits: Our flexible, easily adaptable processes also make it possible to provide wound dressings with digital on-board technology. These "smart" high-tech products can monitor wound healing and send data to medical staff.
