Membranes and ribbons are available sintered, or unsintered where further processing, such as lamination, is required. Ultra-thin, biaxially stretched membranes favor stent encapsulation, while thicker, uniaxially stretched calendared ribbons suit dental or cosmetic implants that are cut or formed into various shapes.<\/p>\n<h4>Aeos\u2122 ePTFE Tubing<\/h4>\n<p>Aeos\u2122 ePTFE porous tubing is perfect for applications that demand flexibility and robust performance. Alongside standard-sized tubing, ultra-thin ePTFE Sub-Lite-Wall\u2122 uniaxially oriented tubing and ePTFE biaxially oriented tubing are both available. These products balance strength with flexibility, making them ideal for stent grafts or endoscope channels. The porous structure can promote new tissue in-growth for accelerated patient healing.<\/p>\n<h4>Aeos\u2122 ePTFE Sutures<\/h4>\n<p>Aeos\u2122 ePTFE suture products are designed to obtain better closure, minimize the immune response, and promote optimal tissue attachment for swift patient healing. Combining a 1:1 suture-to-needle ratio with a soft feel and excellent drape, lubricious Aeos\u2122 ePTFE suture monofilaments (ASM) help minimize patient bleeding while ensuring accurate knot placement during delicate procedures. When a step up in strength is required, Aeos\u2122 high strength suture monofilaments (AHSSM) retain the same characteristics as standard ASM but feature nearly three times the USP knot-pull strength, helping provide superior performance for long-term loading-bearing applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The combination of a microporous structure coupled with the many PTFE properties that are retained after stretching, such as biocompatibility, ability to be sterilized, and flexibility, makes Aeos\u2122 ePTFE an extremely versatile material that can be used in a diverse range of medical applications.
