Overview of GORE Microfiltration Media

• GORE Microfiltration Media and components provide crucial venting, filtration, and protection for a wide range of medical devices.
• These include hearing instruments, ostomy bags, hemodialysis equipment, and IV infusion sets. As a result, they enhance both device reliability and patient comfort.

  For over 35 years, Gore has been at the forefront of developing high-performance expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membranes.

• These membranes solve the design challenges that medical device innovators face.

Venting

• Some medical liquids contain trapped gas, which can be harmful to patients or disrupt the function of medical devices.
• GORE Microfiltration Media for Medical Devices is designed with high gas permeability.
• This allows for fast pressure equalization and improved airflow.
• For example, in IV lines, GORE Media effectively dissipates gas bubbles while maintaining the integrity of pressurized liquids.

Filtration

• This solution protects medical devices from contamination during use.
• Gore’s ePTFE membranes have a microporous structure.
• This allows gases to pass through with minimal pressure loss, while blocking aerosolized liquids and particles.

Acoustics

In hearing instruments, GORE Microfiltration Media for Acoustic Protection serves as a barrier against water and contaminants. It also preserves the quality of the microphone’s sound. In personal hygiene devices, such as electric toothbrushes, the ePTFE membrane equalizes pressure differences caused by temperature changes. It also prevents water and particle intrusion, all while allowing the battery to safely vent gases.
