The high-performance polymer’s transparency and biocompatibility support precise implantation and long-term reliability
Syensqo announced that its Eviva Polysulfone (PSU) has been selected by BIOTRONIK, a global leader in medical technology, for use in the header of its latest Amvia Sky pacemaker models.
Eviva PSU was chosen due to its outstanding biocompatibility, enabling indefinite implantation inside the human body, and its exceptional transparency, which supports precise electrode placement during surgical implantation.
Beyond transparency, Eviva PSU offers excellent mechanical strength and processability, allowing it to be molded into the intricate components required for pacemaker headers. It is manufactured at Syensqo’s ISO 13485 certified Alpharetta, Georgia site, with processes validated for medical applications and testing conducted in an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory.
“BIOTRONIK’s adoption of Eviva PSU for its pacemaker header is a powerful endorsement of our Solviva Biomaterials portfolio,” said Federico Baruffi, Global Marketing Manager at Syensqo. “The material’s combination of transparency, biocompatibility, and reliable processability provides critical value for life-saving cardiac implants.”
