How advanced polyethylene fiber makes medical devices smaller, stronger, and more durable.

The annual healthcare costs around the world has been on a steady rise, which has led to a desire in the medical device industry to make implants and techniques such as laparoscopic and robotic surgery minimally invasive. This minimally invasive approach is crucial to improving healthcare efficiency as it benefits patients in multiple ways:

• faster recovery times
• less scarring
• shorter hospitalization
• and a lower total cost of care.

As ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber makes medical devices smaller, stronger, and more durable, it will likely play a significant role in the growth of the medical device market as applications for minimally invasive surgery move to smaller devices and implants.
