Abstract: The present invention provides a packaging material comprising a first layer formed from a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and a second layer formed from a heat-activated, olefin-based polymer coupling agent containing an ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer and a second polar co-monomer, wherein the packaging material has a total thickness of between 2 mil (50 ?m) and 24 mil (600 ?m), the first layer has a thickness of between 0.8 mil (20 ?m) and 16 mil (400 ?m), and the second layer has a thickness of between 0.8 mil (20 ?m) and 8 mil (200 ?m). The inventive packaging material may be used to provide thermoformed containers and trays for storing sharp, abrasive articles such as orthopedic devices including bone implants.

Abstract: The present invention provides a barrier film comprising a first layer formed from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and a second layer formed from a thermoplastic polymer-based coupling agent containing an ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer and a second polar co-monomer polymer, wherein the barrier film has a total thickness of between 50 ?m (2 mil) and 600 ?m (24 mil), wherein the first layer has a thickness of between 20 ?m (0.8 mil) and 400 ?m (16 mil), and wherein the second layer has a thickness of between 20 ?m (0.8 mil) and 200 ?m (8 mil). The inventive barrier film may find use in colostomy, urostomy, and ileostomy pouches and in other medical applications.
