Manufactured in an ISO accredited clean room environment - the new USP Class VI BioVyon sintered porous plastics offer the high degree of biocompatibility and bio-safety required by many healthcare applications.
Using proprietary processes to immobilize materials such as carbon, C18 coated silica and antimicrobials onto the BioVyon matrix - Porvair is able to change the properties of the sintered porous plastic to optimally suit different applications.
These BioVyon materials offer a wealth of novel filtration and separation possibilities to organizations developing devices for the healthcare industry.
Application developments include: Catheter vents manufactured from BioVyon incorporating cellulosic materials that swell in contact with fluids such as blood, providing an instant 'shut-off' device that prevents bypass of potential hazards ; BioVyon plastics incorporating activated carbon that efficiently remove impurities in water & BioVyon with active resin immobilized on the matrix to enable removal of specific chemical molecules in a sample prior to diagnostic analysis.
In addition by direct chemical or biochemical modification of the BioVyon material surface - Porvair has created a range of new functionalized separation materials that can be used for different diagnostic applications.
