Overview
Bioresorbable polymers used with textile-based medical devices require mechanical and chemical properties that are precisely engineered to match the processing and functionality requirements of the target application. Under a new collaboration between Evonik and ITV Denkendorf Produktservice GmbH (ITVP), companies can now access the industry’s most broad, versatile portfolio of homopolymers, copolymers and block copolymers for textile-based devices together with a range of best-in-class processing and technical services. Topics include:
- Enhancing device performance by combining high strength and elasticity with rapid degradation for:
- Meshes and tapes
- Sutures
- Monofilaments and multi-filament yarns / fibers
- How to optimize melt processing steps including the elimination of additives
- The use of customized services to optimize functional performance, accelerate development, analytical testing and commercial scale-up
