Wire mesh filters in medical technology
In hardly any other industrial development sector are the demands placed on products as high as in medical technology. After all, human lives depend on the performance and reliable quality of medical devices.
And there is hardly any other industrial development area where metal wire mesh is so underestimated as a filter medium. In the following, we will shed light on how metal wire mesh plays a decisive role as a filter medium.
First things first: wire mesh is not a wire mesh fence! A comparison with textile mesh is more suitable for illustration, as its weaving process is very similar to the production process of wire mesh. The dimensions range from coarse-meshed wire cloth - hence the association with fences - to very fine filter cloths, which represent a serious competitor to filter cloths made of plastic, cotton or cellulose in medical technology.
Advantages of wire mesh in medical technology
Metal wire mesh offers ideal conditions for filtering and separating solid, liquid or gaseous media. The application-specific properties range from high precision and efficiency to pioneering advantages such as sustainability.
