Description: ioos’ CFS Cross Fiber Spinning technology addresses the drawbacks of conventional non-woven fibrous material engineering methods. Novel fibrous materials are constructed of comparatively short polymeric fibers with improved mechanical strength due to highly interconnected fibers.

Non-woven biodegradable or biostable materials in the nano-micro range are generally fabricated using Electrospinning, a manufacturing technique that requires applying a high voltage. Problem: Fabrication techniques based on electrospinning provide insufficient control of material homogeneity and reproducibility due to, for instance, poor process stability. In particular when small fibers, such as nanosize fibers, are produced the total yield of the electrospinning process is very low and process scale-up c
Application example: Stent covered with CFS membrane in-between struts
ioos will soon offer novel non-woven fibrous materials in various shapes made from various biostable and biodegradable polymer blends as well as other materials.
