PolyMed Benefits

Design Diversity

PolyMed® is highly machinable while maintaining structural integrity, allowing broad fabrication options. Sizes range from 1-20mm diameter, with wall thickness as thin as 0.0080". Optimal design characteristics can be achieved through a variety of continuous fiber orientations and structures, resulting in a stiff, high-strength material.

While comparable in cost, PolyMed® fiber-reinforced tubing delivers proven performance advantages over traditional stainless steel in leading-edge surgical applications.

Medical Composites Comparison

Polymed Composite Tubing Stainless Steel Tubing
Non-conductive — electrically safe, insulating, reduced risk of shock Conductive — high risk of shock, unsafe, requires insulation layer
Electromagnetically transparent Electromagnetically interfering — can impede electronic devices
Superb material resiliency Can permanently bend past yield strength and become unusable
Multilumen capable — can be produced in multilumen shapes as one piece Multilumen shapes requires use of multiple components
Thermally insulating — more comfortable to touch, ready for immediate use anytime Thermally conductive — always cold or hot to touch
Non-reflective characteristics — excellent compatibility with optical devices Internal finish can interfere with optical performance
