Venting Solutions
Pressure equalization and deaeration are two common elements of medical device functionality for vent filters which can be handled by GORE™ Medical Membrane.
Some examples include:
|
|
|
Urine Collection Systems
GORE™ Medical Membranes for urine collection systems deliver effective ventilation and high leakage resistance for unmatched performance and protection. Expanded PTFE (ePTFE) vents help to deliver the high airflow needed to efficiently vent air during urine accumulation and disposal. At the same time, they provide greater leakage resistance than comparable membranes.

IV Infusion Filters
GORE™ Medical Membranes deliver effective ventilation and high leakage resistance for unmatched performance and protection. The unique expanded PTFE (ePTFE) vent also helps to deliver the high airflow needed for efficient dissipation of air bubbles entrained in the IV solution stream and allow for effective air evacuation during filter reprimes.

Ostomy Bags
GORE™ Medical Membranes for ostomy bags deliver effective ventilation and high leakage resistance for unmatched performance and protection. They deliver the high airflow needed to control the buildup of digestive gases. At the same time, they provide greater leakage resistance than comparable membranes.

Filtration Solutions
GORE™ Medical Membrane for filtration provide solutions for medical devices requiring a contamination barrier or a means of capturing particles.
Some Examples include:
|
|
|
Surgical Suction Filters
Filtration is one of the most critical components of a surgical suction system. 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.

Surgical Smoke Filtration
GORE™ Medical Membrane for surgical smoke filtration is a multi-layer laminate combining a microfiberglass prefilter to trap smoke particles and a hydrophobic PTFE membrane to contain bulk liquids and provide fine filtration of smoke and aerosols containing bacteria and viruses.

Hemodialysis Transducer Protectors
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. High airflow through the microporous membrane allows hemodialysis equipment to rapidly respond to changes in blood pressure so patients can receive the highest quality care.
