About Medical Grade Paper
Medical grade paper is commonly used for infusers, catheters, needles, gauges, gloves, and bandages, among other medical devices and systems. Medical paper is comprised largely of cellulose fibres and is designed to allow sterilising agents to penetrate. Medical grade paper market can be primarily divided into Kraft paper and Sack paper. Whereas on the basis of its chemical layering, it can be further segmented as coated and uncoated papers. The growing investments in medical infrastructure in recent times due to Covid pandemic is expected to benefit or augment the growth of the medical grade paper. Medical grade paper is commonly used for infusers, catheters, needles, gauges, gloves, and bandages, as well as packaging and systems for medical equipment. Currently, North American region dominates the global medical grade paper market.
