Polymer Science & Engineering

Medical-Grade Polymer Expertise

Selecting the ideal resin is essential to balancing column strength, trackability, durometer hardness, and burst pressure. Viant’s materials engineers partner with top resin formulators to customize compounds for demanding clinical environments.

Pebax® & Polyamides (Nylon)

Optimum flexibility, pushability, and torque transmission for interventional catheter shafts.

Polyurethanes (TPU)

Superior biocompatibility, chemical resistance, and softening behavior inside the human body.

Polyolefins (HDPE, LDPE, PP)

Excellent dielectric properties, chemical inertness, and precise fluid pathway containment.

Custom Compounding

Tailored resin blends compounded with custom pigments and radiopaque/lubricious additives.

Specialized Additive Formulations

We integrate specialized fillers directly into extrusions to meet stringent fluoroscopic visualization and tactile performance demands:

  • •
    Radiopaque Fillers: Barium Sulfate (BaSO4), Tungsten, and Bismuth Subcarbonate for sharp visibility under X-ray and fluoroscopy.
  • •
    Lubricious Additives: Propell™, Everglide®, and Mobilize to dramatically reduce coefficient of friction without surface coatings.
  • •
    Stabilizers & Pigments: Heat/UV stabilizers and FDA 21 CFR 73 Subpart D compliant pigments for color coding.
