Implantable Medical Textiles
Aran Biomedical has considerable experience in the design and manufacturing of implantable textile constructs, either as a finished medical device or a component thereof. We have a track record of delivering competitive functionality, using proprietary processing techniques with customized equipment. Through the selection of an appropriate biomaterial grade, fibre specifications and knit structure, the required properties can be simultaneously achieved for optimized clinical performance, specific to the indication for use. Our state-of-the-art, digitally controlled machines facilitate variable design structures, with reliable precision and repeat-ability.

Aran - Knitted Medical Fabrics
Knitted medical fabrics offer unique performance criteria when compared to textiles processed by other means. Specifically, knitted fabrics offer compliance and the ability to negate unravelling of yarns. Where a knitted fabric is implanted can dictate particular compliance characteristics, to ensure that the material stretches or conforms with the movement of the body, limiting unwanted stresses or discomfort. Aran Biomedical uses digitally controlled ...

Aran - Woven Medical Fabrics
Woven medical fabrics are made up of interlacing yarns which cross one another at right angles. The weft yarns run transversely across the loom, with the warp yarn running longitudinally, creating a dimensionally stable implantable fabric. This implantable fabric configuration results in a flexible material with desirable performance attributes applied, such as high tensile strength, high suture retention, and a high level of burst strength. When ...

Implant Coating
Aran Biomedical offers a range of versatile implant coating capabilities to enhance the functionality of medical devices. By offering multiple processing techniques, ultra low profile coatings can be achieved on even the most complex implant geometries, from laser cut, braided or wire formed implants, to shape formed medical fabrics. The company specialise in elastomeric coatings, chosen from a wide range of resorbable and non-resorbable materials, suitable for short or long term implantable use.

Aran - Lubricious Coatings
Hydrophilic coatings are used by Aran Biomedical to create a lubricious surface for implantable devices. The principle benefit of a lubricious coating is to substantially reduce surface friction, facilitating implant delivery and deployment, while additional benefits may be recognised in-vivo, such as reduced potential for tissue damage, lower bacterial adherence or biofilm ...

Aran - Elastomeric Coatings
Elastomeric coatings offer numerous functional benefits for implantable devices. The most obvious application is to create a blood impermeable barrier, which restricts blood flow to key locations. The barrier can also eliminate tissue adhesion to an implant, or contain material, such as thrombus, emboli or ureteral stone fragments, for ...

Nitinol Braiding
Aran Biomedical offers both continuous reel-to-reel braiding and over mandrel braiding. In addition to braiding of multifilament and monofilament polymeric yarns, Aran Biomedical also offers OEM nitinol braiding, specifically for the development of implantable devices and delivery systems. Devices can be stand-alone components or attached to the distal end of catheters for short term interventional procedures.

Micro Fine Wire Braiding
Aran Biomedical offers substrate micro fine wire for implantable devices. These high-density braids are made from ultra-fine wire and polymers and can be as low as 0.001” (25 micron). This low-profile wire braiding capability enables the production of fabrics with miniscule pore sizes, necessary for next generation braided cardiovascular devices. Materials include Nitinol Wire, and DFT ...
-
Biomaterial Braiding
Braided implantable fabric is achieved by intertwining multiple strands (minimum 3) of wire or yarn in a diagonally overlapping pattern. The design is typically used for the manufacture of suture, braided stents, catheters or other implantable devices. By using state of the art equipment Aran Biomedical can offer complex design options, braiding over mandrel or reel-to-reel.

Aran - Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the most common resin of the Polyester family, and the fibre is often referred to as Dacron or Terylene in the medical device industry. All our PET is implantable grade, and we work with monofilament and multifilament input yarns to develop low-profile braided constructs for implantable use. The braids can be supplied as components or finished medical devices. Applications can include annuloplasty rings, frame ...

PTFE Implant Covering
Aran Biomedical offers PTFE stent encapsulation services for balloon and self-expanding stents. The company has significant expertise covering even the most challenging stent geometries and ensures minimum impact to sheath size when moving from a bare metal design. During the development phase, material encapsulation can be optimised to suit individual stent designs and the indication for use. Multi-axial laser processing ensures an optimum finish for the covered stents and the scope to integrate features into the stent wall.
