Turnkey Suture Manufacturing
FET has a long tradition in the biomedical sector, particularly in suture and medical device production. We have built strong relationships with multinational companies over many years, designing and supplying a wide range of equipment, ancillaries and turnkey solutions for biomedical applications.
Turnkey projects for suture manufacturing
- FET offers technology, process knowhow and selection of hardware for turnkey projects.
- These may be applied to PGA/PGLA braid production for sutures:
- Guarantee suture manufacturing to USP or EP standards
- From third party supply polymer through to coated, braided suture material
- Selection of all raw materials; polymer, coating materials, lubricants, pigments etc
- Specification and supply of all necessary hardware (extrusion, braiding, post-treatment, coating etc)
- Supply of all ancillary equipment (calibration equipment, dry storage, polymer handling etc)
- Quality control and process documentation
- Commissioning, training and after sales technical support
Resorbable polymer technology
FET has successfully developed market leading technology and knowhow to process resorbable polymers.
- Extrusion technology and equipment for processing resorbable polymers
- Extensive knowledge of all types of resorbable polymers
- Turnkey projects including all downstream processing equipment, braiding, coating etc
We can guarantee production of braided suture materials and monofilament suture for materials to meet the requirements of United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) and the European Pharmacopoeia (EP)
Melt spinning of synthetic absorbable materials
FET has developed unique knowhow and process technology for the production of multifilaments, monofilaments and nonwovens from synthetic absorbable polymers.
