PURASORB for cardiovascular products

Cardiovascular surgery is an exciting, emerging area for resorbable polymers. PURASORB resorbable polymers are used in vascular closure devices and in drug-eluting coronary stents. In addition, medical device companies are developing a new generation of fully resorbable stents. These developments benefit from the excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability of PURASORB polymers. The properties of PURASORB polymers can be tailored to the application to meet all design criteria of resorbable stents.

PURASORB solutions for cardiovascular devices are commercially available in our Polylactide platform, our PLGA (lactide/glycolide copolymers) platform, and our Capro (lactide/caprolactone copolymers) platform. These polymers represent families of polymers that have been used commercially in medical and pharmaceutical applications for many years. PURASORB materials can be processed by conventional processing techniques, such as extrusion, fiber-spinning, and injection molding, and can be subjected to different sterilization techniques.
