Infusion Filters for Drug Delivery
Precise Flow Control for Better Filtration Efficiency
Infusion filters are used to reliably prevent particles from entering the human body to prevent life-threatening blood clots or to distribute drugs in a precise and controlled pattern. The filtration / retention rate can be determined by choosing the correct pore size. By selecting the appropriate pore size, customers can determine the retention rate for small particles and as well as the flow rate for the infusion solution by correlating the membrane flow rate with the priming pressure of the drug delivery solution.
Because our track-etched membranes have a highly defined pore structure, along with adjustable pore size and flow parameters, they can offer a unique solution for every infusion filter application. In addition, mounting can be done conveniently via ultrasonic welding or other assembly methods.
Highlighted Case Study
Electronic Textiles
Oxmotex AG is a research and development company dedicated to electroosmotic vapor and fluid transport, who developed revolutionary proprietary technology for electronically controlled moisture transport in membranes and textiles. As they looked to create a new innovative technology that would provide active electronically driven moisture transport, they came to Oxyphen for a track-etched membrane solution that would be responsive to changing climates, transport moisture beyond normal sweat rates, and be comfortable for the wearer.
