Breathable layered films for medical applications

Abstract

The present disclosure provides for a breathable layered film for use in, among other things, medical applications. The breathable layered film includes at least one layer of a modified microporous film and a monolithic non-porous film. The modified microporous film is formed from a linear low-density polyethylene-based polymer and a pore forming filler. The monolithic non-porous film is formed from an ionomer-based polymer comprising an ethylene-based ionomer. The monolithic non-porous film provides a skin layer for the breathable layered film.
