Ulteeva Purity™: Your Vision. Our Fiber.

For years, the medical device industry has relied on expanded polytetrafluorethylene (ePTFE) for use in vascular stent grafts and other applications. Now, dsm-firmenich offers Ulteeva Purity™ membrane: a superior, sustainable alternative for stent coverings and implantable medical devices.

The field of minimally invasive therapeutics necessitates smaller, more delicate medical devices. Conventional materials often exceed the size constraints of these interventions, posing a technical challenge. Ulteeva Purity™ fiber, a fine-denier, ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber, addresses this need. Its reduced diameter and exceptional strength-to-weight ratio facilitate miniaturization without compromising mechanical integrity.

Ulteeva Purity™ boasts extensive clinical experience, particularly in cardiovascular applications like valve replacements, further demonstrating its viability. Furthermore, rigorous production in a dedicated medical facility guarantees compliance with stringent regulatory standards. Notably, its biocompatibility surpasses that of alternative fibers, suggesting superior biological performance. Explore how a new fine-denier, ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber can help ensure high processing efficiencies for braiding, weaving, or knitting, ultimately resulting in lower amounts of defects and waste.
