The woven fabric in the infusion set acts as a security filter. The function of the filter is to retain large particles that might be present in the infusion solutions (e.g. aggregated nutrients, pharmaceutical compounds) or which may originate from the infusion bag or the infusion bottle. The DIN and ISO standards require that the filter fabric must retain particles greater than 20 microns with an efficiency of greater than 80%.
The precision-woven monofilament fabrics of the SEFAR MEDIFAB product range fulfill and exceed these criteria. Sefar’s highly precise and biocompatible filter fabrics are known for their excellent particle retention efficiencies and high throughput rates.
Well-controlled and cost-effective manufacturing processes, a global distribution system and short response times make Sefar the leading supplier of filter components for medical devices. Major manufacturers of infusion sets therefore rely on Sefar’s products and worldwide partnership.
