Secant Medical has announced the availability of two diverse products that can advance the research and product development needs of medical device OEMs. The company is launching an off-the-shelf low-profile fabric for next-generation EVAR or heart valve component design and Regenerez TM, a research-grade resin for tissue engineering applications. Both products will be on display at MD&M West, Anaheim, CA, at booth #1765 from February 11-13, 2014.

Low-Profile Option
"Available in eight different varieties, our woven low-profile fabrics offer clients an economical entrance into the market," said Dan Treusch, business manager at Secant Medical. "Accessible through quick ship delivery, this product can help streamline our client's development process." Biocompatibility, low-permeability, high burst strength, and compaction for MIS delivery are a few of the features and benefits of the low-profile woven fabric.

Regenerez, A Regenerative Medicine Platform
"Regenerez, our research-grade biomaterial, is a bioresorbable elastomer platform for regenerative medicine. It has tunable mechanical properties and enables healing without creating a harmful immune response," said Dr. Josh Simon, business development manager at Secant Medical. "The material's flexibility and inherent elastomeric properties offer limitless possibilities for tissue engineering in a variety of in vivo applications."

Secant Medical's technical experts will have samples and additional data on Regenerez and the low-profile fabric at MD&M West. Visit the company's booth to learn more about how these enhanced technologies can benefit device component design.
