Getting to the heart of resorbable polymers

Today resorbable polymers are being used in a range of vascular closure devices and drug-eluting coronary stents. Tomorrow they will feature in a new generation of fully resorbable cardiovascular stents — thanks to their outstanding biocompatibility and biodegradability.

Tailored to meet your specific application needs in resorbable stents, polymers are incredibly versatile: It can be processed via several processing techniques including extrusion, fiber spinning, and injection molding; while also being compatible with different sterilization techniques.

Resorbable polymers for cardiovascular stents

When it comes to resorbable polymers for cardiovascular devices, we offer several resorbable polymers including Lactide/glycolide copolymers and Lactide/caprolactone copolymers.
