Want to learn more about the custom medical supplies and medical foam fabrication solutions we can provide?

Medical Positioning Devices

Medical positioning wedges help achieve limb or torso immobilization that can alleviate discomfort, ensure proper healing, facilitate therapeutic procedures and more. Merryweather can help you design and fabricate a custom medical foam wedge that meets your exact specifications.

Sound Dampening

Patient privacy is a primary concern in hospitals and other healthcare settings. Sound-dampening foam solutions from Merryweather can help ensure that sensitive patient information and discussions of delicate subjects remain as private as possible in doctor offices, clinics, surgical suites, and other medical situations.

Prosthetic Devices

One of the biggest challenges in successfully fitting prosthetic devices is mitigating the abrasion they can cause against the wearer’s skin. Merryweather can work with you to craft custom prosthetic foam pads that fit between a device’s hard metal or plastic parts and the patient’s body to alleviate discomfort and improve quality of life.

EKG Pads

Reticulated medical foam pads can be pre-impregnated with gel to improve electrical conductivity while eliminating the messy step of applying gel to the patient’s skin. The quality and consistency of our custom EKG supplies help provide the most accurate readings, helping doctors and nurses provide the best care to their patients.

Orthotic Inserts

Our wide selection of high-quality materials and foam fabrication capabilities makes it easier for your team to develop custom medical orthotic supplies for various painful foot conditions. Give your patient reliable relief with durable Merryweather medical foam inserts made to your specifications.

Blood Filtration & Oxygenation

The pumping action of heart-lung machines can create air bubbles that cause life-threatening conditions by blocking the passage of blood through the veins. Passing the blood through a medical foam filter made of reticulated foam eliminates the danger by breaking up air bubbles and making blood safe for circulation.

Air Filtering

Merryweather Foam can help you determine the most effective foam filters for your facility’s air filtration system, as well as custom medical foam filters for therapeutic applications like nebulizers and other respiratory care applications.


Medical Device Packaging

Our custom medical packaging solutions provide excellent insulation and ample padding to ensure the safety of medical industry components, from biologics to delicate machinery, while in transport.
