Over ten years of research and development culminated in the formulation of Elast-Eon™ and ECSil™. By combining the biostability of silicone rubbers with the excellent mechanical properties of polyurethanes, these polymers outperform other types of flexible polyurethanes.
The most advantageous polyurethane materials.
The leading biostability and non-thrombogenic properties of Elast-Eon™ and ECSil™ polymers offers competitive advantages against devices using inferior polyurethanes.
Elast-Eon™ combines the advantageous properties of both polyurethanes and silicone rubbers into a single material.
ECSil™ polymers are a super soft polyurethane, which combine the advantageous properties of polyurethanes with a super soft silicone rubber
WHY ELAST-EON™ OR ECSIL™?
Improves device durability.
Improved patient outcomes offer competitive advantage.
Fifteen years of successful clinical use.
Approvals in US, Europe, Japan, Australia.
Materials Master Files available (ISO 10993).
Available in a wide range of mechanical properties.
LONG TERM DURABILITY
Elast-Eon™ and ECSil™ are amongst the most biostable and the least thrombogenic polyurethanes available for use in long-term implantable and blood contacting medical devices. Having been used in over eight million long term implants worldwide, they are clinically proven to maintain mechanical properties without any degradation over the long term.
CLINICALLY PROVEN
Together Elast-Eon™ and ECSil™ have well over eight million long term implants and fifteen years of successful clinical use, across cardiology and urological applications. Devices manufactured from Elast-Eon™ or ECSil™ have achieved US FDA PMA approvals, 510k’s, CE marks, Australian TGA and Japanese Ministry of Health approvals as well as FDA material master files.
WORLD LEADING
Elast-Eon™ and ECSil™ are widely accepted as amongst the highest performing of all polyurethane materials. Their leading biostability and non-thrombogenic properties help improve device performance compared to using standard polyurethanes.
Elast-Eon™ combines the advantageous properties of both polyurethanes and silicone rubbers into a single material, without the drawbacks of either, as a result it outperforms all other types of flexible polyurethanes.
ECSil™ combines the advantageous properties of both a Siloxane based polyurethane and a super soft silicone rubber. It is proven to be the best polyurethane for use when a very high level of mechanical performance is required.
