Protect the Clinician, the Patient and the Circuit​

Blood management devices carry two risks at once: exposure of the clinician to bloodborne pathogens, and exposure of the patient to air, particles or contaminants in the circuit. Porex porous polymers address both. Self-sealing vents let air escape from a flash back chamber and shut off on blood contact. Hydrophobic membranes vent and debubble perfusion and administration circuits while holding a sterile barrier. Sintered media carry sorbents or functional binders where the device needs chemistry as well as flow control.​

The same platform serves four application areas: blood collection and IV access, transfusion and administration, organ perfusion, and dialysis. Each draws on self-sealing media, Virtek® PTFE membranes and depth filtration tuned to the fluid and the clinical risk, produced in custom formats for automated assembly at high volume.​

Key Features and Benefits​

• Self-sealing protection: Vents for IV Catheters allow air to escape as blood fills the flash chamber, then seal on blood contact to protect clinicians from bloodborne pathogens​

• Sorbent Customization: Porous materials can be customized to include sorbents or functional binders for specialized filtration applications​

• Automated assembly at scale: Vents and filters for dialysis bags, cartridges and administration sets are engineered for single-step assembly.​
