Why did DuPont change the name from Sontara® to Softesse®?
More than 25 years ago, DuPont set a new standard of protection, convenience and comfort for the medical industry by introducing a technologically advanced, single-use nonwoven fabric for gowns and drapes. Until recently, this innovative fabric was called Sontara®. It has been renamed DuPontTM Softesse® medical fabric, a name that better describes this comfortably soft fabric.
