Porvair Filtration's Biovyon range of sintered porous plastic materials and products has been developed for the medical, pharmaceutical and life science markets.
Included in the Biovyon range is porous polyethylene, a proprietary sintered material that delivers excellent strength with reduced brittleness compared with standard polyethylene, according to the company.
These material characteristics, combined with elasticity, provide firm flexibility for insertion and good interference fit for use in pharmaceutical product packaging such as medicinal bottle vents and powder inlet supports and outlet vents in bicarbonate dialysis cartridges.
Precisely manufactured to current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) in ISO-accredited clean rooms, Bioyyon materials meet FDA approval and USP Class VI for biocompatibility and biosafety.
