What is medical electrospinning?
In short, it’s where science meets art. We create super-thin polymer fibers used in life-changing medical solutions—think stents, artificial blood vessels, and heart valves. These fibers mimic the natural environment of cells, reducing rejection and scarring, and ultimately help the body heal itself.
