Bard Peripheral Vascular, a producer of implantable textiles used in customer devices such as heart valves and left ventricle assist devices (LVADs) is celebrating its 40th anniversary this month. In recent times, the company has expanded its offerings to include PTFE & PET felts, and ePTFE for use as components, in the most advanced cardiovascular devices.

Bard Peripheral Vascular OEM’s latest offering for other medical device manufacturers is its ePTFE encapsulation capabilities, originally developed for Bard’s own branded stents.

According to Bard, its customers now have access to the material and processes they need for encapsulating their own component or device.

“ePTFE encapsulation is ideally suited for transcatheter heart valves and other medical devices which benefit from its thin, high strength, micro-porous, and biocompatible properties,” the company observed.

“For 40 years, we have been proud to provide our esteemed customers with the component products, technical support, and regulatory information they need to develop the highest quality medical devices for cardiovascular applications,” said Bill Gemma, director, OEM sales and marketing, Bard PV OEM.
