GORE™ Medical Membranes For Venting and Filtration Solutions in Medical Devices

GORE™ Medical Membranes have consistently proven to be a reliable barrier to bacterial and viral contamination (efficiency>99.99%), while still maintaining airflow for both medical filter and vent applications. The membranes incorporate expanded PTFE (ePTFE) membrane technology which is coupled through lamination to a robust membrane support to facilitate easy integration into a variety of device designs and housing materials for medical filtration and venting applications.

Our application knowledge and product support will help you every step of the way

GORE™ Membranes can be readily processed in automated manufacturing environments by clamping, heat sealing, ultrasonic welding and high frequency (radio frequency) welding.  GORE™ Membranes come in a variety of product forms including slit to width rolls and custom cut parts in different pore sizes, and can be steam and EtO sterilized.  In addition, in many applications, the membranes can also be radiation sterilized.

Specialized GORE™ Medical Membranes are available in different configurations, to accommodate your sealing and sterilization methods. Our experienced engineers can assist your product validation process by providing guidance on device design, sealing methods, assembly methods and mode of sterilization.

Designed and tested for your medical application

Cost effective GORE™ Medical Membranes are engineered to perform in specific medical applications and have been qualified for use in medical devices for such critical applications as surgical suction filters, surgical smoke filters as well as IV venting systems, hemodialysis transducre protection, urine collection systems and ostomy bags.
