With a combination of unmatched sizing, uniform wall thickness, and tailored absorption profiles, Absorv™ XSE oriented tubing is evolving BRS applications and giving designers more efficient and predictable options for replacing metallic stents in a wider variety of procedures.
Absorv™ XSE takes our Absorv™ tubing to the next level. Through improved molecular orientation, Absorv™ XSE now possesses enhanced uniformity that leads to more predictable strength and improved laser-cutting efficiency compared to our previous generation of Absorv™ oriented tubing.** With these enhancements, Absorv™ XSE is ideally suited for load-bearing applications such as bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BRS).
The balanced radial and axial properties of Absorv™ XSE tubing, combined with its unmatched sizing (developments up to 15 mm OD), uniform wall thickness, and tailored absorption profiles, enables Absorv™ XSE to replace metallic stents in a wider variety of procedures spanning cardio, peripheral, ENT, and other related fields.
Using a portfolio of absorbable synthetic polyesters, including PLLA, PLC, and PLGA, as well as optimized polymer processing, the mechanical properties and absorption profiles of Absorv™ XSE tubing can be tailored to your specific design requirements.
**Based on testing of a nominal size, previous generation vs new generation of oriented tubing that are not sterilized, not intended to be a specification, actual testing and economic value is subject to change with material(s), sizes, or product types.
Disclaimer: Absorv™ tubing utilizes manufacturing aids made from Class VI PTFE monofilament. As a result, embedded PTFE particulates may be present in the product. Zeus does not warrant that Absorv™ tubing is free of PTFE particulates. Customers must assess the suitability and safety of using Absorv™ tubing products for medical devices.
