In recent years, with the changes and upgrades in production technology, many new materials have also completed a completely new change, including Teflon microporous membranes.
Because PTFE is purely inert, has very strong biological adaptability, has no adverse reactions to the human body, and can be sterilized by any method, it is used in a variety of rehabilitation solutions.
The fine fiber structure of Teflon microporous membrane has countless pores, so it has better toughness, can be bent more than 360° at will, and has better breathability.
Therefore, ePTFE is mainly used in the manufacture of artificial blood vessels, heart patches, artificial tracheas, endoscopic forceps catheter tubes, etc.
Medical products made of ePTFE have overcome the problems of easy burrs when cutting and the need for pre-coagulation before implantation in the human body. They have achieved good clinical results and saved many lives.
With the development of plastic surgery technology, ePTFE has become an important filler in plastic surgery and is currently one of the most ideal materials for biological tissue substitutes.
In addition, in rhinoplasty surgery, Teflon microporous membrane is made into the required shape and used to construct a nasal prosthesis bracket to improve the shape of the nose.
Because the body’s own tissue cells can grow into the micropores of ePTFE, the material will not move, rupture, or be rejected. It can also prevent light reflection, making the facial shape more natural and lifelike after plastic surgery.
