Spi-Polymer™

Reduced Friction, Enhanced Biocompatibility
  SPI-Polymer
   
Spi-Polymer utilizes low temperature ion beam bombardment, enhancing properties of polymeric devices without adding any material to the surface. The process can signicantly reduce friction of medical grade silicones, polyurethanes, and other polymeric materials, and can also reduce biological reactivity.

  • Low friction
  • Resistance to bacterial growth
  • Hydrophilic
  • Extends product life

Applications

  • Eartubes
  • Catheters
  • Urological stents
  • Ascites shunts
