ePTFE Supply Chain Challenges Due To Regulation Updates Minimize Supply And Environmental Risks With Porous UHMWPE Membrane Alternative

Oct 31, 2024

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been a cause for concern due to their non-degradable nature and contamination of water, soil, and food. With their known health risks, regulations are being put in place to reduce their use. This has led to the consideration of porous UHMWPE membrane as a substitute for PFAS-containing materials like PTFE, commonly used in medical devices.

Ulteeva Purity™ membrane, made of UHMWPE, provides a promising solution. It offers similar biocompatibility and processing advantages compared to PTFE, making it an ideal replacement. Extensive research has shown that Ulteeva Purity™ is safe and effective in medical applications, ensuring patient well-being and regulatory compliance.

Medical device companies are now actively exploring alternative materials like Ulteeva Purity™ to mitigate the risk of PFAS regulation. By adopting this innovative solution, they can ensure the continued production of high-quality medical devices without compromising on safety or efficacy.

Stay ahead of the curve and discover the future of medical device materials. Learn more about Ulteeva Purity™ and its potential to revolutionize the industry.
