RxFiber produces
multifilament fibers for the medical device industry. Our
biomaterial engineers are experts in the application of
multifilament and monofilaments fibers for medical device
applications. We can help your team select material for the final
medical device design. We offer biomaterial solutions, fiber
selection and consult on fabric structures. The characteristics of
the fiber and fabric structure have a direct relationship to the
performance of the finished textile. Things to consider when
selecting fiber for a medical device includes:
- Material: Non-absorbable or absorbable
- Strength or Tenacity
- Number of filaments
- Diameter of filaments (weight or denier)
- Function of the fiber
- Environment for the fiber
- Post processing of the fiber
- Biocompatibility
- Conductivity
We can help in a variety of methods to ensure you acquire fiber
to meet the design inputs for the medical device in development or
production.
We produce multifilament fiber and can resource monofilament fiber
for your specific medical device requirements. RxFiber
manufactures medical grade, high quality, fibers in a ISO 13485
recognized facility. Some of our manufactured fibers include the
following:
- RxFibron™ (ask about our
FDA equivalent 40/27 PET)
- RxFibron HT™ (high
tenacity polyester)
- RxFibrene™
- RxFibresorb™
RxFiber is the
leading expert in producing multifilament (fine denier,
high-tenacity fibers), both absorbable and non-absorbable. We can
consult on monofilament projects. RxFiber provides
small custom fiber runs that can be fully integrated with your
product specifications.
RxFiber can also
coordinate and consult on the testing and conversion process. We
have partnerships with converters that have been vetted by our
engineering team. The engineering team at RxFiber works with
your engineer team to first determine the best yarn and can advise
on the best converting process. Our technical team are experts in
weaving/knitting/braiding solutions and can provide options based
on device specifications. Depending upon the type of
weaving/knitting/braiding capabilities needed, RxFiber can
coordinate with the converter and oversee the converting
process.
RxFiber can either
produce the fiber only or, if requested, coordinate and manage the
production all the way through the knitting/weaving/braiding
process.
RxFiber yarns are
produced by expert medical device engineers that specialize in
medical device textiles. RxFiber works with
customers to understand their medical device needs in order to
provide textile solutions that will best match the specifications
required to produce reliable and verifiable products. RxFiber can replace
aging yarn inventory with quality yarn in smaller quantities that
meet production needs. RxFiber also
provides R&D and custom runs, including smaller denier with
higher tenacity.
Our product is "made in the USA."
