Tubing & Oriented Tubing<\/strong>
\nLike all of our bioabsorbable products, Absorv\u2122 tubing is capable of safely existing in the body for controlled lengths of time before being absorbed and eliminated naturally. Thanks to this finite functionality, Absorv\u2122 tubing is particularly well-suited for controlled drug release applications where highly targeted and localized treatment is crucial.<\/p>\n

Absorv\u2122 XSE oriented tubing takes our standard Absorv\u2122 tubing to the next level. Improved molecular orientation within Absorv\u2122 XSE helps provide enhanced toughness, strength, and uniformity when compared to our previous generation of Absorv\u2122 oriented tubing. With a combination of unmatched sizing, uniform wall thickness, and tailored absorption profiles, Absorv\u2122 XSE oriented tubing is evolving BRS applications and giving designers more efficient and predictable options for replacing metallic stents in a wider variety of procedures spanning cardiovascular, peripheral, ENT, and other fields.<\/p>\n

Monofilaments & Drawn Fiber<\/strong>
\nBioabsorbable monofilaments have been utilized in the medical device industry for decades, most notably as an alternative to traditional suture materials. These products have also been utilized as an absorbable option for wound closure, or by forming highly oriented monofilament (drawn fiber) into devices such as sinus stents.<\/p>\n

When a monofilament with higher tensile strength is needed (up to 5x*), such as in woven mesh devices or formed drug-eluting sinus stents, Absorv\u2122 drawn fiber is available. This high-performance monofilament undergoes an additional step to elongate the fiber after the extrusion process. This extra step of drawing the fiber adds strength and toughness to the fiber, ensuring it is optimized for your specific application needs.<\/p>\n

*Based on testing of a nominal size, oriented vs. non-oriented that are not sterilized, not intended to be a specification, actual testing and economic value is subject to change with material(s), sizes, or product types.<\/em><\/p>\n
