Materials & Specifications
Materials and constructions for medical products.
We source medical products from vetted Pakistani manufacturers, including woven and non-woven materials for gowns, drapes, masks and wound dressings. Composition, construction, weight and finish are confirmed against the product specification and manufacturer documentation before an order is placed.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stainless steel 304 | Austenitic stainless steel; typically 18–20% chromium and 8–10.5% nickel | Common sheet grades include 304/304L; thickness varies by product | Hollowware, trays, containers and selected instrument components | Brushed, polished or electropolished; sterilisation suitability depends on product design |
| Stainless steel 410 | Martensitic stainless steel; typically 11.5–13.5% chromium | Common grade 410; thickness and hardness depend on product specification | Selected instrument components and hospital equipment parts | Polished or passivated; corrosion resistance and sterilisation suitability depend on grade and product design |
| Stainless steel 420 | Martensitic stainless steel; typically 12–14% chromium, with carbon content varying by grade | Common grades include 420 and 420A/420B; thickness and hardness vary | Surgical and dental instrument components | Polished, ground or passivated; sterilisation suitability depends on product design |
| Titanium | Commercially pure titanium or titanium alloy; grade varies by specification | Grade and section thickness vary by product | Selected surgical and dental instrument components | Machined, polished or anodised; sterilisation suitability depends on grade and product design |
| Natural latex | Natural rubber latex; formulation and additives vary | Glove thickness varies by type and specification | Examination and surgical gloves | Powder-free or powdered; chlorinated or polymer-coated options may be available |
| Nitrile | Nitrile-butadiene rubber; formulation and additives vary | Glove thickness varies by type and specification | Examination and procedure gloves | Powder-free options; textured or smooth surfaces, with varied cuff and colour options |
| Vinyl (PVC) | Polyvinyl chloride; plasticisers and other additives vary by formulation | Glove thickness varies by type and specification | Examination gloves and selected disposable medical products | Typically smooth; powdered or powder-free options may be available |
| Polypropylene nonwoven | Polypropylene fibre, commonly spunbond; construction varies | Commonly around 15–50 gsm, depending on product and layer | Masks, caps, gowns, drapes and disposable covers | Hydrophobic or treated options; bonding and barrier characteristics vary |
| SMS nonwoven | Spunbond–meltblown–spunbond polypropylene laminate | Commonly around 25–60 gsm, depending on product and construction | Gowns, drapes, masks and disposable covers | May include treated or reinforced zones; barrier properties vary by construction |
| Cotton gauze | Cotton yarn; weave, yarn count and ply vary | Weight varies by weave, ply and product specification | Gauze swabs, bandages and wound-care dressings | Woven or non-woven formats; supplied folded or cut, with sterile status to be confirmed |
| Medical-grade silicone | Silicone elastomer; formulation and grade vary | Grade and dimensions vary by product | Selected tubing, seals, masks and device components | Moulded or extruded; sterilisation compatibility depends on formulation and product design |
| ABS plastic | Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene thermoplastic | Grade and moulded wall thickness vary by product | Diagnostic device housings, handles and selected equipment components | Moulded, textured or polished; sterilisation compatibility depends on grade and product design |
| Polyethylene | Polyethylene thermoplastic; type and density vary | Film thickness or moulded section varies by product | Packaging, disposable liners, tubing and selected medical-product components | Film, moulded or extruded; sterilisation compatibility depends on grade and product design |
| Cotton wool | Cotton fibres; composition and processing vary | Supplied by weight or roll size; product density varies | Cotton wool rolls, balls and selected wound-care supplies | Absorbent or non-absorbent formats; sterile status to be confirmed |
Material options and weight ranges depend on product construction and specification. ISO 13485, CE/MDR, FDA registration, DRAP licences and sterility validation are to be confirmed per product and per manufacturer; supporting documents are available on request. Buyers remain responsible for import registration in their country.
