The demands of the cardiovascular market have changed dramatically and Secant Medical™ is equipped to meet these challenges head-on. The design and biomaterials used in traditional textile-based heart valves, vascular grafts, and embolic protection systems, to name a few, must now be completely redesigned from the ground up to deliver these devices by minimally invasive means.
These complex devices and their associated delivery systems require an expert design partner who understands not only the mechanical challenges of catheter dimensional constraints, fatigue resistance and deliverability, but also how these differences in textile design and biomaterials influence physiological response.
Biomedical Textiles in Cardiovascular
Having a design partner known for leadership in medical textile and fabric innovation has never been more important. Secant Medical's decades of cardiovascular design experience in a wide variety of applications, including work on some of the earliest percutaneous and endovascular therapies, can enable you to shorten your product development timelines and stay on budget.Key Benefits of Implantable Fabrics
Biomedical textiles and fabrics can provide important benefits to cardiovascular devices; here are just a few:- Low Profile – Thin but durable medical textile structures can be compacted to fit within catheter-based delivery systems.
- Deliverability – Biomedical fabrics are flexible, facilitating navigation of tortuous anatomy for accurate delivery to the operative site.
- Deployment – Self-expanding Nitinol components, sheaths, and recovery/repositioning tethers are a few of the many roles medical fabrics can play in your application.
- Custom-Tailored Specifications – Whether impermeable or permeable, tapered or self-expanding, tissue incorporation or vascular filtration, biomedical textiles offer a range of possibilities to meet the exact demands of your application.
