Products
Flat sheets (medical-grade)
Knit, woven or nonwoven flat sheets with tunable pore structure, thickness range (~40 µm to >2000 µm), and options for die/laser cutting, bias cutting and patterned windows or pockets.
Bifurcates and trifurcates (multi-appendage components)
Woven or assembled multi-appendage tubular components for branched vessel applications, produced via attachment of customized elements to a main tube and formed using in-house tooling.
Sutures, tapes, cords and tethers
Braided, knitted or woven narrow components available flat, round, tapered, hollow or with cores; supplied on spools or as assemblies with needles and terminations.
