Impact of the European proposal to restrict PFAS on modern medical technology and treatment options
Functionality of state-of-the-art medical devices often depends on high-end materials. Today, a large spectrum of medical devices like heart valves, vascular grafts, sutures or endoscopic devices consist of or incorporate fluoropolymers like polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Fluoropolymers offer uniqu...
