RxFibron™ is a thermoplastic which
means it is a thermally or melt extruded fiber in which the fiber
forming process is passing the molten polymer through a
spinneret. The spinneret forms the shape of fiber. Most
medical applications use a round fiber that is bundled into a flat
yarn package. The yarn can be further processed (woven,
braided or knitted) into a structure for a medical device.
