Dental – As bone barrier membranes, Aeos™ ePTFE provides a safe and non-toxic means to prevent gum from growing into grafted bone for procedures such as dental implants.
Desiccant and Packaging Aids – Aeos™ ePTFE is breathable allowing air to pass while also filtering dust to protect sensitive electronics or other parts. The product is nonflammable, biocompatible, moisture blocking, and chemically inert. Our team can also pad print on your items to mark them as packaging aids.
Fiber Optics – Aeos™ ePTFE is an excellent material to shield fiber optics from temperature extremes, block out moisture or aggressive chemicals, and reduce micro bend-induced attenuation. Aeos™ ePTFE is the most flexible tubing Zeus offers making it ideal for areas that require versatility and reliability with a single option.
Filtration – As tentered membrane, this implantable material can be used as an IVC filter to allow circulation to be sustained while capturing unwanted blood contents. In a neurovascular setting, Aeos™ ePTFE membrane can be used to capture emboli.
Implantation – The unique structure of Aeos™ ePTFE and its intermodal distance variability make this material particularly suited to applications requiring cell growth. ePTFE is a well-known material in medical research papers for its endothelization and thrombogenic properties. The PTFE resin has long been utilized for implantable medical devices because of its proven track record of biocompatibility.
Zeus has performed independent testing and holds USP Class VI certification for our PTFE resins. Medical applications include endovascular stent grafts, suture-like devices, cosmetic implants, dental and glass ionomer uses, structural heart, and tissue engineering.
Sutures – This specially processed biocompatible monofilament possesses the knot strength, tenacity, soft feel, and drape preferred by surgeons. This material is developed for applications requiring permanently implantable and non-absorbable sutures. The microporous nature of this material allows new tissue to grow into and through individual sutures. Zeus Aeos™ ePTFE suture meets USP standards for knot strength and can be swaged onto needles up to a 1:1 ratio. We offer this material in bulk quantity for manufacture into your own suture allowing you to increase your brand profile.
Wire and Cables – Aeos™ ePTFE is chemically inert, naturally hydrophobic, and remains flexible in high and low temperatures. Extruded in tubing, ribbon, or as a monofilament for a cable filler, this product line makes cables robust.
