Covering
- Functional layers around metallic structures
- PTFE and polyurethane membranes
- Adapted to geometry, deformation and expansion
Membranes that add function
PTFE and PU membranes
MeKo uses PTFE and polyurethane (PU) membranes. The covering and its attachment are tailored to the component's geometry and intended function.
Particular attention is given to secure attachment and to how the membrane accommodates deformation and expansion during delivery and deployment. The metallic structure and membrane are considered together as a functional combination.
Covering or polymer coating?
A covering forms a functional layer around the metallic structure. A thin polymer coating adds surface functions such as controlled drug release. The choice depends on the component's intended role.
