Smaller Denier. Big Advantage.
Spectra® UF BIO Fiber Now Available
Introducing the new ultra fine medical-grade Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber with the quality you expect from Honeywell. Spectra® UF BIO is stronger and smaller than polyester or nylon, and designed for a lifetime of durability in life-saving medical devices. Available from 100 denier down to the newly launched 25 dtex, it’s exceptionally light — allowing for smaller devices that can access smaller anatomical structures other devices can’t reach.
Spectra UF BIO is produced at our world-class U.S. manufacturing sites and ISO 13485 compliant. It’s also backed by Honeywell’s industry-leading technical support. Contact us and explore the advantages of using Spectra UF BIO for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement TAVR/TAVI, stent grafts, cardio sutures, surgical robotics and more.
