Wondering if anyone can suggest some suppliers that can offer textiles suitable for use in medical devices?
Specifically, we just want reliable companies which can offer a variety of various textiles we can sample. Once we select a suitable fabric for our purposes, we will confirm biocompatibility ourselves (according to ISO10993).
Because the biocompatibility tests are expensive and time-consuming, we'd like (obviously) to minimize the chances that we have to repeat these tests. Therefore, it is important that the supplier:
a) is well established (they're not going out of business anytime soon)
b) has a consistent product catalogue (so the exact same product can be consistently purchased)
c) (ideally) has a history of supplying textiles for use in medical applications (so we can be reasonably confident chosen product will not fail biocompatibility tests).
Can anyone suggest some?
(feel free to send me a personal message if particular endorsement of a company is not appropriate)
Thanks in advance.
