Medical Equipment & Supplies #5144157

Over the past 50 years, Zeus has built a reputation on quality polymer extrusion products for the medical as well as industrial sectors. Our experience with medical device engineers, manufacturers, and clinicians has given us the insight to meet the demands of this ever-evolving industry. Our medically focused products range from catheter componentry, stent encapsulation, bioabsorbable materials, to our Aeos ePTFE suture monofilament.

Zeus Aeos ePTFE extruded products are made by expanding PTFE under controlled conditions during manufacturing. This process alters the physical properties of the material by creating microscopic pores in its structure. The resulting product possesses unique physical properties such as flexibility and strength making it ideal for use in a host of applications where porosity is especially beneficial.

LCPs liquid crystal polymers are thermoplastic resins which exhibit unique properties. These special plastics, however, are often difficult to process and can be cost-prohibitive to maximize end-user benefit. We have perfected a process to produce LCP as a monofilament fiber with all of the significant properties of LCPs such as exceptional mechanical strength, heat tolerance for autoclaving, and chemical inertness.
