Raven BioFlex™ films are Berry Amendment compliant (USC, Title
10, Section 2533a) and contain premium-quality, high-strength
polymer resins formulated to be used in the manufacturing of
single-use, disposable medical isolation gowns. These films are 100
percent latex free and are designed to aid in the protection of
healthcare professionals and patients from cross infection in
clinical and laboratory settings. BioFlex™ films provide excellent

liquid and solid materials.

requirements for production of disposable medical isolation
gowns:
- Berry Amendment compliant, “Made in the USA”
- ISO/ANSI/AAMI PB70 Level 1, 2 and 3 protection standards
- Non-sensitizing and non-irritating per ANSI/AAMI 10993-10

domestically-produced PPE materials. On behalf of everyone at
Raven, we are incredibly grateful to all frontline workers serving
our communities and caring for those in need. We are proud to
