Advanced porous plastics for medical & life science applications

A selection of BioVyon components.

BioVyon range have been incorporated into products to achieve more sensitive analysis, better healthcare, improved medical knowledge and faster diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

Visitors will be able to learn how Porvair's BioVyon range of high-performance porous materials have been incorporated into products to achieve more sensitive analysis, better healthcare, improved medical knowledge as well as faster diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Also on display, will be the latest life science and medical products and application solutions from Porvair’s fast-growing Laboratory Division.

Alan Hughes, Advanced Materials account manager at Porvair Sciences commented: "The requirements of porous materials used in devices and systems for medical diagnostics and drug delivery applications are usually far more stringent than those for industrial applications. They need to be contamination-free with very low levels of leachables and with full traceability. Regulatory approval is also an essential prerequisite for many products in these sectors." He added: "Drawing upon the wide range of production equipment in our Wrexham, UK facility, Porvair Sciences not only manufacture the BioVyon materials but can assemble finished products in our cleanroom facility for OEM partners to the high standards demanded by these regulated markets."

BioVyon range of advanced porous plastic materials are being used in applications including drug filtration and purification, catheter vents, bone cement mixing in the operating theatre and nasal spray filters.
