Ulteeva Purity™ UHMWPE Fiber and Membrane
Peripheral vascular
Improving performance in devices for peripheral vascular disease
While there may be no cure for peripheral vascular disease, there are many new innovations that can help prevent amputation and improve patients’ mobility and comfort. Challenges in treating these patients include navigation and crossing, optimizing treatment, and minimizing vessel damage.
How do we work to overcome the challenges of peripheral vascular disease?
Our medical-grade biomaterials can deliver high strength at low profile, providing a clear solution for patients and providers everywhere. We help make devices stronger, lighter, and easier to maneuver1. We support next-generation solutions for peripheral covered stents and stent grafts, peripheral catheters and interventional devices, drug-eluting stent coatings, and drug-coated balloons.

Peripheral stents and stent grafts
The ability for our medical grade biomaterials to deliver high strength at low profiles is helping to advance the treatment of blood circulation disorders of the heart and brain in peripheral stents and stent grafts.
One example is our Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) membrane – which can perform in small vessels in a way that PET simply cannot match; and offers a more sustainable alternative to expanded polytetrafluorethylene (ePTFE) in these applications.
Peripheral vascular interventions
We can seamlessly combine biomaterials in our portfolio to support improved performance in interventions including - peripheral atherectomy or angioplasty with a DCB, IVL, PFA, and balloon embolectomy. Just one example of this is our high-strength UHMWPE fiber – which provides an ideal solution for crossing very small and often heavily calcified vessels with the smallest DCBs.
Our durable hydrophilic coatings are another ideal solution for peripheral vascular applications. With long-lasting lubricity and low particulate release, they are based on a universal ready-to-use chemistry, and are compatible with a wide variety of devices.
Drug eluting stent coatings and drug-coated balloons
Sustained release drug delivery is an ideal solution for these applications, through the use of our biodegradable polyester-amide (PEA) technology. This highly tunable material is compatible with even the most challenging APIs used in neurovascular therapies.
Biomedical innovations that help take on these challenges:
TPU (Biospan®, Bionate®, Carbosil®)
ComfortCoat® DAV Coating
TheraPEA™ Technology
Collagen
