(Fairburn, GA \u2013 February 5, 2019) \u2013 Through its customized material design solutions, Porex is delivering innovations that bring product designs to life. These solutions improve the performance of medical devices, provide more accurate results for diagnostics and eliminate cross-contamination in liquid handling applications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Attendees at MD&M West 2019 will learn how Porex is \nable to solve technical design challenges in absorbing, applying, \ndiffusing, filtering, venting and wicking with custom porous \ntechnologies used in critical medical applications including blood \nmanagement, drug delivery, infection prevention, and urological care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Porex will join its Partners in Innovation – Multisorb, AG \nIndustries and FG Wipes – in the Filtration Group booth, #1601, at \nMD&M West, Feb. 5-7 in Anaheim, Calif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are at a time when innovation in the medical device \nindustry is expanding at a tremendous pace,\u201d said Jack Chan, Ph.D, \nglobal marketing director for Porex. \u201cEquipment manufacturers in \ntoday\u2019s market are looking for next-generation products that offer \nprecision, accuracy and consistency. Our unparalleled material science, \nengineering and manufacturing capabilities enable us to deliver the \ntypes of solutions that help our customers address everything from \ndesign issues to patient safety concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to the medical device industry, Porex partners \nwith leading manufacturers in analytical sciences and diagnostics to \nengineer high-quality solutions using Certified Pure POREX\u2122 filters and \nmaterials to greatly improve test accuracy and reliability. These \ncomponents have been independently tested by third party laboratories \nlaboratories for filter purity, clinical compatibility, cytotoxicology \nand more with results confirming no additives or elements that can \ninterfere with or contaminate the integrity of the fiber material and \nresultant sample.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of the Porex technologies on display at MD&M in booth 1601 include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Medical Device Applications<\/strong> \u2013 Porex is \nhighlighting our durable, high-performance venting components designed \nto increase functionality and reliability in medical devices. POREX\u00ae \nVirtek\u2122 Medical PTFE materials provide high bacterial filtration \nefficiency (BFE) optimal airflow and a fluid barrier, critical for \nmultiple applications, including infection prevention, fluid management,\n injection therapy, drug delivery and ostomy and urology care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Diagnostics Applications<\/strong> \u2013 Engineered to \nspeed fluid transfer and provide more rapid test results, POREX\u00ae \n\u201cCollection to Detection\u201d diagnostics solutions offer increased \noperational efficiencies, improved accuracy of results and reduced \noverall costs of methodologies. The start-to-finish suite of \ntechnologies pulls from a diverse portfolio of porous materials that can\n allow for faster sample collection and control throughout the testing \nprocess. POREX\u00ae materials include collection media that offer benefits \nsuch as customized surface energy, reduced oral fluid viscosity in \nsamples and improved absorbency of samples using optimized capillary \nstructures. These critical functionalities can improve operations for a \nrange of laboratory and clinical applications in which speed, \nflexibility and mobility are crucial. These applications include in \nvitro diagnostics, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests and \npoint-of-care (POC) tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Liquid Handling Applications<\/strong> \u2013 When \ndealing with delicate, sensitive specimens, sample purity and protection\n are paramount. Manufactured with no additvies, the inert POREX \nFORTRESS\u2122 pipette tip filters block out aerosols and liquid \ncontaminants, preventing cross-contamination and sample carryover while \nallowing for pure sample recovery. Using all Certified Pure POREX\u2122 \nmaterials, the Edison Award-winning FORTRESS pipette tip filter sets the\n new industry standard for sample protection in clinical, analytical, \nand blood transfusion laboratories, delivering reassurance and \nreliability for a more accurate diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To learn more about Porex\u2019s technologies for healthcare applications, visit porex.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
