POLYESTER MESH

Polyester Mesh for surgical and medical device applications. Our Polyester Knitted Mesh (PETKM) fabrics are comprised of multifilament or monofilament yarns to produce fabrics with a soft hand. The polyester mesh fabrics are used in medical device applications, such as surgical mesh, breast support, wound dressing, molded silicone reinforcement, catheter anchoring and pacemaker lead stabilizers.

The PETKM family of fabrics offered have pore sizes from about 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm and range in weight from about 14 to 163 gsm. We vary the yarn size to adjust the mesh weight and strength properties.

We have a line of PETKM fabrics available for immediate delivery. PETKM fabrics are offered in convenient roll sizes that measure about 64 meters (91 meters for PETKM2002 and 182 meters for PETKM3003) long by 34 centimeters wide.

Review the Processing Considerations for our mesh fabrics.

POLYESTER MESH FABRICS MAY BE STERILIZED USING AN APPROVED METHOD, SUCH AS ETHYLENE OXIDE (EtO), GAMMA IRRADIATION OR STEAM AUTOCLAVE.

MESH FABRICS CONVERTED INTO FINISHED MEDICAL DEVICES MUST UNDERGO A FINAL CLEANING STEP THROUGH A CUSTOMER APPROVED PROCESS.

ISO-10993 Biocompatibility results for Polyester Mesh are available to our customers upon request.
