From bioabsorbable tubing and microporous monofilaments to electrospun composite membranes and more, Zeus provides a host of biomaterial products designed to safely exist within the body and meet the growing needs of the medical device industry.<\/p>\n
Absorv\u2122 Bioabsorbable Extrusions<\/strong> Bioweb\u2122 PTFE\/PU Composite Membranes<\/strong> Aeos\u2122 ePTFE Products<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>Absorv\u2122<\/a> bioabsorbable extrusions are an ideal choice for medical applications that require an alternative to metal stents or other long-term implantable components. Made from absorbable synthetic polyesters, including poly(L-lactide) (PLLA), poly(glycolide) (PGA), poly-\u03b5-caprolactone (PCL), polydioxanone (PDO), and others, Absorv\u2122 extrusions are capable of safely existing in the body for controlled lengths of time before being absorbed without causing harm or adverse interactions.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Bioweb\u2122<\/a> is a non-woven composite membrane produced by electrospinning biocompatible PTFE and PU into polymeric nanofibers. Collectively, these nanofibers form a product that provides an efficient adhesion platform for stents and scaffolds, enabling low-profile encapsulation without sutures at a much lower temperature (266 F\u00b0 \/ 130 \u00b0C) than traditional ePTFE coverings (572 \u00b0F \/ 300 \u00b0C) for a wider variety of encapsulation possibilities.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Made by expanding PTFE under controlled conditions, Zeus Aeos\u2122 ePTFE<\/a> features a unique structure of solid nodes interconnected by fibrils.\u00a0<\/strong>This versatile material is ideal for applications that demand porosity, flexibility, and strength. Aeos\u2122 ePTFE is available in multiple forms, including Aeos\u2122 ePTFE Membranes and Ribbons; Aeos\u2122 ePTFE Porous Tubing; and Aeos\u2122 Monofilament, Sutures, and High Strength Sutures.<\/p>\n
