IME Medical Electrospinning, a leading provider of fiber-based medical solutions, said today that ASTM International had released the first standard for fiber-based medical scaffolds, which it assisted in developing.Ramon Solberg, IME CTO, was a co-author of the standard, which will govern the design and production of fiber-based medical equipment to improve patient care.A group of industry leaders, including Medtronic, academic institutes, non-profit organizations, and governmental authorities, organized this session.
Following the consortium’s proposals, a workgroup was formed, with the assistance of the American NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology), to draught an ASTM Standard, in which IME played a crucial role.To increase patient health and safety, this published standard now provides crucial guidelines for developing and manufacturing repeatable, high-quality nanofiber-based medical devices.
According to the ASTM standard, full control of environmental conditions is a key component of recommendations for producing highly consistent fiber-based products with therapeutic efficacy and safety in mind.In fiber-based medical device solutions for membranes and implants in the human body, IME cutting-edge technology uses special polymers to generate micrometer and nano-scale copies of the natural human extracellular matrix.
