SEFAR MEDITEX® KNT White Paper
The Critical Path from Production to Patient Safety. Learn how cleaning, heat setting, testing, and validation influence knitted mesh quality - and what to consider when specifying and qualifying it for medical applications.
Different Structures for Additional Requirements
Some medical components require flexibility, elasticity, or conformability alongside reliable handling and functional performance. SEFAR MEDITEX® KNT adds knitted mesh to Sefar’s medical material portfolio, expanding the options available for application-specific component development.
Benefits include:
- Soft, textile-like surface through multifilament yarns
- Elasticity and stretch combined with tensile strength
- Good visibility through the open structure
- High drapability for adaptation to complex contours
- Three-dimensional structures for advanced component designs
More Than a Knitted Mesh
Selecting the material is only one part of developing a reliable medical component. Sefar combines material expertise with processing, manufacturing, and quality support.
- Select the Right Structure
Choose from precision-woven fabrics, knitted mesh, and other materials selected according to your functional requirements.
- Combine Material Properties
Integrate woven and knitted materials to create stable and flexible zones, tailored flow characteristics, or multilayer constructions.
- Manufacture the Component
Translate material, geometry, cleanliness, and performance requirements into prototypes and repeatable manufactured components.
Depending on the application, Sefar can use adhesive lamination, point bonding, edge bonding, laser cutting, and ultrasonic processing to manufacture combined constructions.
Supporting Diverse Medical Applications
Depending on the required function and component design, woven fabrics, knitted mesh, and combined constructions can support a wide range of medical applications. These include Wound Care, Blood Filtration, Tissue Transport, Medical Packaging, Venting Applications, and many others.
Controlled for Medical Development
Sefar combines broad material and manufacturing capabilities with the processes required for medical applications:
- Medical washing and heat setting process
- Biocompatibility testing to ISO 10993
- Converting in an ISO Class 7 Cleanroom
- Laboratory services
- ISO 13485 quality processes and documentation
