Filtration Solutions

Medical devices frequently require a contamination barrier or a means of capturing aerosolized particles.  For example, bacterial and/or viruses may be present in liquid or aerosolized challenges to the device.

GORE™ Medical Membranes for filtration offer the best combination of liquid resistance and airflow through the use of an expanded polyfluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane.  In either liquid or aerosolized challenges, these unique ePTFE membranes block microbial contaminants from entering or exiting a medical filter device, thus keeping the device sterile and protecting the environment.  In the case of particle or aerosol filtration, GORE™ Medical Membranes remove particles from gas streams entering or exiting a device.

GORE™ Medical Membranes for Filtration Provide the Features You Need:

  • Best bacterial and viral control available
  • Cost effective solutions for new and existing designs
  • Qualified for use in medical devices according to USP testing
  • Possible sterilization modes: EtO, steam, gamma or e-beam

Contact us for assistance in determining the best GORE™ Medical Membrane for your next medical device application. Whether you need a solution for a new device design, or are looking to improve an existing product, our engineered membranes can meet the demands of the most challenging medical applications.

        
GORE™ Medical Membranes provide the right combination of barrier properties and airflow so your transducer protectors can deliver the best protection possible to everyone involved with hemodialysis treatment.
    
GORE™ Medical Membrane for surgical smoke filtration is a multi-layer laminate combining a microfiberglass prefilter to trap smoke particles and a hydrophobic ePTFE membrane to contain bulk liquids and provide fine filtration of smoke and aerosols containing bacteria and viruses.

GORE™ Medical Membranes dependably block bulk liquids and fine aerosols, including surgical smoke, and consistently maintain high airflow even when challenged by liquids and smoke. Filter devices using GORE™ Medical Membrane are inherently hydrophobic and are engineered to prevent premature shut-off, and reliably shut off flow when the suction container is full.
